Carlos Alcaraz faced a daunting challenge in his French Open semifinal against Jannik Sinner, falling behind early and battling cramps under the intense afternoon sun on Friday. Trailing by two sets to one, Alcaraz eventually persevered in a grueling five-set marathon, winning 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Despite accumulating fewer total points (147-145), the 21-year-old Spaniard emerged victorious, becoming the youngest man to reach a Grand Slam final on three different surfaces. Alcaraz expressed his philosophy of finding joy in suffering, particularly on the demanding clay courts of Roland Garros.

Looking ahead, Alcaraz will face Alexander Zverev in the final, as Zverev dealt with his own challenges both on and off the court. This remarkable semifinal marks a turning point for Alcaraz, solidifying his status as one of the rising stars in men's tennis.
