Novak Djokovic withdrew from 2024 French Open due to a knee injury, but the show must go on and there is still a lot of talent at Roland Garros.
Djokovic arrived in Paris as world number 1, but that ranking will now belong to Jannik Sinner. The 22-year-old won his first Grand Slam title earlier this year at the Australian Open, and now Sinner is officially the first Italian to become world No. 1.
“It’s definitely not how I wanted to become No. 1, with Novak retiring, but otherwise, in the last period I played very good tennis and I’m happy to be in the position,” he said. Sinner said. “It’s something new coming to me and something good, so I’m really happy.”
Sinner was dealing with a hip injury earlier this year, but has been taking care of business at Roland Garros and earned a trip to the semifinals after a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) victory over Grigor Dimitrov .
This tournament historically belongs to Rafael Nadal. However, the Spanish legend was eliminated early with a first round defeat to Alexander Zverev and may have played at Roland Garros for the last time. Spain would not be without a star, as 21-year-old Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz has come into his own. He is one of the favorites to win the French Open, but to reach the title match he will have to defeat Sinner in Friday’s semi-finals.
In the women’s tournament, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek was nearly defeated by Naomi Osaka in the second round, but used it as a wake-up call and had the shortest match of her career when she defeated Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0 in the quarterfinals in just 40 minutes.
Swiatek has not lost at Roland Garros since the 2021 quarterfinals and is currently on a 19-match winning streak at the French Open. She also won 17 consecutive matches on clay, with victories in Madrid and Rome. She is fresh off a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Marketa Vondrousova and will now face American star Coco Gauff in Thursday’s semi-final.
Gauff punched his ticket with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Ons Jabeur on Tuesday. She has never won the French Open but reached the finals in 2022. The 20-year-old won her first major last year at the US Open.
