In one of the most anticipated matches of the year, the 21-year-old Spaniard produced moments of magic to wrap up a 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory against Sinner at the Philippe-Chatrier court.
The Serbian tennis icon Novak Djokovic on Thursday announced the successful completion of his surgery on his knee that caused him to withdraw from the ongoing French Open competition, where he was defending his men's singles title.
Sinner is just four wins away from gaining the top spot in the ATP Rankings. In case he reaches the final or the current number one Novak Djokovic does not make it to the title clash, Sinner will make history by becoming the first-ever Italian world number one after the tournament.
