Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the French Open final after Lorenzo Musetti retired from their semifinal early in the fourth set. Alcaraz was leading 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-0, 2-0 when the eighth-seeded Italian had to stop playing on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Early on, Musetti had the advantage after taking the first set, 6-4, as the Italian showed his class as he went toe-to-toe with the world No. 2. The two stayed on serve until Musetti finally got a late break and consolidated it to take the first set and an early lead in the match.
