The 23-year-old Italian beat Novak Djokovic to book a mouth-watering final on Sunday against his main rival, who is defending his crown

Jannik Sinner said his battle for supremacy with fellow French Open finalist Carlos Alcaraz could become the defining rivalry of their era and is something the sport needed with its golden generation of players calling time on their careers.

Sinner beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 in a generational battle on Court Philippe Chatrier to deny his Serbian opponent a record 25th grand slam and left him unsure whether he would ever return to Roland-Garros, where he has won three major trophies.

The 23-year-old Italian, who is seeking his fourth grand slam title, booked a mouth-watering meeting on Sunday with his main rival Alcaraz, who will aim to retain his crown at Roland-Garros and add a fifth major crown to his trophy cabinet.
