Objective achieved with a scare avoided. Carlos Alcaraz successfully navigated a challenging match against a spirited Lorenzo Musetti over two sets, who ultimately succumbed due to a problem with his left leg, forcing him to retire with a score of 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-0 and 2-0 in the semifinals of Roland Garros 2025.

There were high expectations for the clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals of Roland Garros 2025, and they were met for a good portion of the match. It was an enthralling battle of styles between two men who did justice to the sport of tennis, yet the match was ultimately influenced by physical issues faced by the Italian, leading to his withdrawal.

The feelings of the Spanish player were not entirely positive from the start of the first set. Doubtful with his serves, hasty tactically, hitting the ball too hard without putting much spin on it, and lacking the precision required to outplay a spirited opponent like Musetti. Despite this, Carlos had three break opportunities that he failed to capitalize on, leading to a loss of confidence. Musetti secured a break in the ninth game, displaying accuracy in all his shots, especially with his serve and backhand.

The alarms were not ringing yet, but it was evident that the second set was crucial. Musetti faced a blank break due to flashes of magical inspiration from the player from Murcia, but he couldn't hold on to the advantage, bringing back equality. It was then that the match entered its most thrilling and evenly contested phase, with opportunities for both players and more uncertainties for Alcaraz. The Spaniard managed to weather the storm and secure a break in the eleventh game, only to suffer a very painful break against him soon after. However, he displayed his best form in the tiebreak.

A cry of contained rage pierced the skies of Paris, and a sharp pain struck Lorenzo Musetti's left leg. The Italian managed to keep his composure, but after suffering a bagel in the third set and trailing 2-0 in the fourth, he opted to withdraw. A sad and undeserved ending for a man who has been a significant figure on the clay court tour. On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz will contend for another Grand Slam title in the final of Roland Garros 2025.
