The men's singles semifinals take centrestage on Day 13 of the 2024 French Open (June 7). Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will contest the first singles semifinal of the day on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Sinner is set to ascend to the top of the rankings on Monday, and this is his opportunity to sweeten the deal by reaching his first final in Paris. He remains unbeaten at the Majors this season as well. As for Alcaraz, he has only gotten better as the tournament has progressed.
The two are close rivals and have split their eight meetings evenly. Alcaraz is one of two players to beat Sinner this year, which he did during their most recent encounter at the Indian Wells Masters. Another epic showdown between the two is on the cards.
Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud will follow them in the second semifinal. The latter was the losing finalist in Paris the last couple of years. While he will be keen to overturn that record, he will first need to get past the German, who's vying to reach his second Major final.
Ruud disposed of Zverev quite easily when they crossed paths in the semifinals of last year's French Open. Both look to be in great form at the moment, so this could be another close match between them.
The women's doubles semifinals will also be played on Friday, with singles stars Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini in action alongside their respective partners. With another day of exciting matches lined up, here's a look at the schedule for Day 13 of the tournament:
