Ruud is a golfer, and was seen working on his swing before the match. Maybe some of that golfer's mentality translated to his game — he's been playing calm and controlled so far.

Ruud takes the set, in part with the help of a creative soft touch that lands near the net to get to the set point. Some strong play so far between the two semifinalists, but Ruud takes the first victory of the match.

And we're off with the second semifinal! Norwegian Casper Ruud takes on German Alexander Zverev to battle for the other spot in this year's French Open Final.

Alcaraz said in a post match interview that this is one of the toughest matches he's ever played, and said that his toughest games are against Sinner. The two young tennis phenoms are competitors, but also friends with a lot of respect for each other

"You have to find the joy in the suffering," Alcaraz said of the marathon game.

Alcaraz wins, and moves on to the French Open Final.

And there it is! Alcaraz forces Sinner to overshoot the ball and takes the match, advancing to the French Open final. It's been a marathon for these two, but the young Spaniard has come out on top after forcing a fifth set.
