Reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the French Open final as Lorenzo Musetti retired injured from their last-four tie on Friday, ahead of world number one Jannik Sinner's clash with 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.

World number two Alcaraz was leading 4-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-0, 2-0 in the fourth set under the Court Philippe Chatrier roof when Italian Musetti called it quits due to an apparent thigh injury.

"It's never great to go through or win a match when it's like this," said the 22-year-old, who has never lost a Grand Slam final.

"He's done an incredible clay season. I wish him all the best, a quick recovery and that he'll be back soon."

Alcaraz will aim to win his fifth Grand Slam title against either Sinner or Djokovic, who meet in the second semi-final, on Sunday.
