Anticipation is building before the latest chapter in the burgeoning rivalry between the two brightest talents in men's tennis.

Although meeting in a major final for the very first time, world number one Jannik Sinner and defending French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz have already faced each other 11 times.

That includes at Roland Garros last year, when Alcaraz fought back to beat Sinner in five sets in the semi-finals.

"It doesn't get any bigger now. It's a special moment for me and for Carlos too," said Italy's Sinner.

"The tension you feel before the match and during the match is a little bit different in a way, because we are both very young, we are both different, but [both] talented."

We were treated to a gripping women's singles final yesterday, when Coco Gauff won the first French Open singles title of her career by fighting back to beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka.

The American world number two claimed a 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 6-4 victory after a tense battle in testing conditions.

It was a mixed day for Alfie Hewett, who lost in the men's wheelchair singles final but won the doubles title alongside fellow Briton Gordon Reid.

British duo Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski came up short in the men's doubles final, losing in three sets against Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers.

There was also heartbreak for British teenager Hannah Klugman, who lost against Lilli Tagger in the French Open girls' final.

This is the first Grand Slam final to feature two players born in the 2000s, and the first French Open men's final between two players aged 23 or under in more than three decades.

Carlos Alcaraz has claimed four majors, having beaten Alexander Zverev in five sets to win last year's Roland Garros final.

All three of Jannik Sinner's Grand Slam triumphs have come on hard courts - and he is today seeking to become only the sixth man in the Open era to win three consecutive majors.

It is the first time Alcaraz and Sinner have faced off in a major final.

But it is unlikely to be the last.

For so long, the men's game was dominated by Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, but only one of that trio still remains on the tour.

Djokovic's pursuit of a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title was put on hold on Friday when the Serb was beaten by Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals.

Speaking after his semi-final loss to Sinner, the 38-year-old Novak Djokovic said of the pair: "They're definitely great for tennis, both of them.

"I think their rivalry is something that our sport needs, no doubt.

"The way they are playing and the way they are approaching tennis life, I think they are going to have very successful careers in the next years.

"I'm sure that we're going to see them lifting the big trophies quite often."

For a long time we wondered who could rise up and fill the void that would be left by the end of the 'Big Three' era in men's tennis.

It is becoming increasingly clear that we have our answer.

Whatever happens today, between them Carlos Alcaraz, 22, and the 23-year-old Jannik Sinner will have won the past six slams between them.

Alcaraz (four) and Sinner (three) have won every major final they have contested so far.

But only one of them will leave Paris with their perfect record in slam showpieces intact.
