Musetti felt discomfort in his left leg while serving in the third set, which raised alarm bells. With his body betraying him, Lorenzo lost confidence and failed to take a game in sets three and four.

Carlos Alcaraz reached his second straight final at Roland Garros after Lorenzo Musetti retired in the fourth set of their match on Friday.

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.
