The two players have met each other four times in the past, with the Pole winning all of them in straight sets. This is also the second straight Grand Slam that they pair are facing off after the Australian Open in January.

It’s been an emotional start to Roland-Garros this year. Sunday saw the tribute to 14-time champion Rafael Nadal, where he was joined on court by his biggest rivals – Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. One day later, France’s own Caroline Garcia played her final match at her home Grand Slam, going down in the first round to Bernarda Pera, and then made a heartfelt speech on court.

Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti comes into this year’s Roland-Garros with a different vibe around him. The 23-year-old has transitioned from rising star to legit contender on the back off his most successful 12 months on the tour. Musetti, who is holding the one-handed backhand torch in men’s tennis, reached his first Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon last year and then became the first Italian tennis player to win an Olympic medal for 100 years when he won a bronze medal.

The final was a great story as the second seed, Alcaraz, was in trouble early against Lorenzo Musetti. After losing the first set 3-6, he flipped the script and dominated the rest of the match 6-1, 6-0. The match was moved three hours earlier to avoid rain and turned from a competitive match into a one-sided show of Alcaraz’s skills and conditioning. The sports bets markets reacted big time to the momentum shift after the first set, with Alcaraz being heavily favoured as he took control.

The second set started with Kenin building a 5-1 lead and holding three set points but Pegula stormed back to win six games in a row to win 6-3, 7-5 and claim her second title of the season (after Austin on hardcourts). It was also the first career clay court title for the 31-year-old and her eighth overall singles title at the WTA Tour level. I honestly didn’t think I was going to break her twice, but luckily, I could play some good tennis.
