IT'S the final before the final between the Wimbledon champion and the new world No.1.

And Carlos Alcaraz has claimed his blockbuster semi-final with friend and rival Jannik Sinner is: "The match everyone wants to watch." Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal are both out of the French Open the tournament they have dominated over the last two decades.

There will be a new male champion this year and the winner tomorrow will be hot favourite in Sunday's final.

Alcaraz said: "It is a really difficult challenge. I'm ready. He's the best player in the world. He is No.1 right now! It is the match everybody wants to watch.
