24-time Major champion Novak Djokovic will lock horns with World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the French Open 2025 on Friday, June 6. The Serb’s quest for a historic 25th Grand Slam crown commenced with a routine win over Mackenzie McDonald.
Djokovic didn’t drop a set in the next three rounds either, beating Corentin Moutet, Filip Misolic and Cameron Norrie to make the last eight for the 19th time in Paris. His win over Norrie was also his milestone 100th at the venue. He took on third seed and last year’s runner-up Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals.
Djokovic conceded the first set but regrouped to beat Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Sinner has been absolutely dominant throughout the tournament and hasn’t lost a set thus far. He defeated Arthur Rinderknech, Richard Gasquet, Jiri Lehecka, Andrey Rublev and Alexander Bublik to reach the semifinals of the clay court Major for the second consecutive year.
Sinner and Djokovic's rivalry is currently tied at 4-4, though the Italian has won four of their past five matches, including the last three. The Serb won their only prior encounter on clay, which was their very first career meeting at the Monte-Carlo Masters 2021.
Sinner is gunning to reach his third consecutive Major final, having won the preceding two Majors. Djokovic, meanwhile, is a couple of wins away from scripting history once again with a 25th Major title.
There's a lot on the line for both players and given their rivalry, this contest promises to be another fight to the finish. With that in mind, here's everything to know on how to watch their upcoming semifinal showdown at the French Open:
