There will be a new men’s champion at the French Open this year with 14-time singles winner Rafael Nadal absent from Roland Garros for the first time since 2005.
Novak Djokovic will face Casper Ruud in Sunday’s final after outlasting an injury-hit Carlos Alcaraz in their blockbuster semi-final. Djokovic will go for a men’s record 23rd grand slam title while Ruud has made it through to back-to-back Roland Garros finals. The Norwegian was thrashed in straight sets by Nadal last year.
