For more than two hours, it was spectacular tennis, Lorenzo Muzzetti knew how to match and torment Carlos Alcaraz, but the Italian's great journey at Roland Garros ended in a sad way.
He had to retire from the semifinal match due to injury at the start of the fourth set - he did so with the score 6:4, 6:7, 0:6, 0:2.
The Spaniard continued to dream of defending his title in Paris, and his rival in Sunday's final will be known tonight after the big clash between Janik Siner and Novak Djokovic.
Muzetti took a set lead with a break in the 10th game, and the second half of the game was full of twists and turns.
Ikaras had two breaks, twice returning to Musetta, but in the tie-break he could not match the favorite and won only three points.
The real problems with his hamstring started at the start of the third set. Carlitos sensed it and started playing even more aggressively - winning eight games in a row and Musetti no longer had any reason to stay on the court.
