Paris – Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the French Open final on Friday after Lorenzo Musetti retired from the semi-finals early in the fourth set.
Alcaraz led 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-0, 2-0, when the eighth-type Italian had to stop playing on Philippe-Chatrier.
After the third set, Musetti treated the inside of his left thigh.
Second-place Alcaraz won his second French Open title and top ranked Jannik Sinner or 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the final.
They compete in the semifinals later Friday.
