First, Novak Djokovic will take on Jannik Sinner on Friday.

Djokovic chalked up early exits in Monte-Carlo and Madrid but weathered the storm with a title-winning run in Geneva. He outfoxed Hubert Hurkacz in a close three-set match in the finals, 5-7, 7-6(2), 7-6(2).

The Serb used his momentum to make a strong start in Paris and cruised past Filip Misolic and Cameron Norrie in the initial few rounds. He then eliminated the third seed Alexander Zverev in four sets, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

Meanwhile, Sinner returned to the fold after three months and secured a runner-up finish in Rome. He continued to build momentum by defeating Richard Gasquet, Jiri Lehecka, and Andrey Rublev in Paris. The Italian outsmarted Alexander Bublik in the last round, 6-1, 7-5, 6-0.

The head-to-head between Sinner and Djokovic is locked at 4-4. While Sinner has strength and versatility on his side, Djokovic brings years of experience to the table in the semifinals. Considering their record at Major events and ability to play under pressure, Djokovic might sneak through to the finals.

Alcaraz has had a solid season so far, amassing title-winning runs in Rotterdam, Monte-Carlo, and Rome. He also reached the semifinals in Indian Wells but lost to Jack Draper in three sets.

The Spaniard has hardly put a foot wrong in Paris by defeating Fabian Marozsan, Ben Shelton, and Tommy Paul en route to the last four. He outfoxed Paul in straight sets in the last round, 6-0, 6-1, 6-4.

Meanwhile, Musetti has made an optimistic start to the season. He entered Paris after a runner-up finish in Monte-Carlo and semifinal runs in Madrid and Rome. The Italian has faced Alcaraz twice in the last two months but lost on both occasions.

Alcaraz leads the head-to-head against Musetti 5-1 and will be a heavy favorite to come out on top. Despite the Italian's sharp all-around game, the second seed is most likely to pass this test and enter the finals of the French Open.

Predicted winner: Carlos Alcaraz
