At the 2025 French Open, an exciting semi-final will kick off against 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, 38, and world number one Sinner, 23. This match is not only the ninth meeting between the two in their careers, but also a direct dialogue between the old and new generations of tennis superstars, who can win this match and successfully advance to the final, let us analyze the performance of the first five rounds of this French Open, the record of the past two years and the technical characteristics.

The performance of the first five rounds of this French Open: Sinner is unstoppable, and Djokovic is steady and rising

On his way to the French Open, Sinner has shown extreme dominance, and his performance has been nothing short of perfect. In the first five rounds, Sinner did not lose a set, conceding only 36 games in five games, including three rounds with an astonishing clean sheet. Especially in the quarterfinals, he defeated Bublik in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 7-5, 6-0, and won 9 games in a row to easily advance to the semifinals. Sinner's serve, baseline shot and movement are at their best, with plenty of attacking firepower, an almost indestructible serve and a dangerous return game, and he is now on a 19-game winning streak in all four Grand Slam tournaments, winning 26 sets in a row, becoming the first Italian man in the Open era to reach the semi-finals of six Grand Slams.

Djokovic played steadily in the first four rounds of this French Open, winning all in straight sets, and although the opponent was not ranked high, he also showed a deep strength. However, in the quarter-finals against world No. 3 seed Zverev, Djokovic dropped a set and was in trouble. However, with his strong psychological quality and game wisdom, he adjusted his tactics in time and won three sets in a row, defeating his opponent 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 and successfully advancing to the semifinals. This match showcased Djokovic's tenacity and experience in key moments, and showed us that he is still competitive on clay.

Record of the last two years: Sinner has the upper hand, Djokovic still has the advantage on clay

Looking back at Djokovic's head-to-head record with Sinner, the two have met eight times before, with a 4-4 draw and a tie. But Sinner has won all of his last three matchups, including the 2024 Shanghai Masters final, the 2024 Australian Open semifinals and the Davis Cup. Those three victories gave Sinner a psychological advantage and proved the success of his tactical approach against Djokovic.

However, it is worth noting that the two have only met once on clay at the 2021 Monte Carlo Masters, when Djokovic won 2-0. The characteristics of clay courts are different from those of hard courts, with slower ball speeds, higher bounces, and more emphasis on the players' baseline holding ability and tactical use. Djokovic's extensive experience on clay and his excellent counter-attacking tactics could play an important role in the French Open semi-finals.

Technical features: Sinner is sharp in attack, Deyo is well-balanced

Sinner's style of play is extremely aggressive, with power on his serve and baseline, precise hitting points, and high-quality baseline winning points. He has a lot of firepower on both his forehand and backhand, especially his backhand cuts and forehand volleys, which often make his opponents difficult to parry. On clay, Sinner is also very mobile, able to adjust his position quickly, and play brilliant cross-balls and straight scores. With his attacking prowess, he won 17 titles on hard courts, including three Grand Slam titles.

Djokovic's technique is more well-balanced, his defensive ability is top-notch, his ability to hold on to the bottom line, and he can find the opponent's flaws through patient maneuvering. In addition, Djokovic's serving and receiving skills are also excellent, especially on key points, which can often help him turn things around. On clay, Djokovic's counter-attacking tactics are well established, and he is able to take advantage of the characteristics of clay courts, sliding and moving quickly to adjust his shots and hit high-quality cross-balls and deep balls. His experience and tactical set-up on the field remain his greatest strengths.

Based on the above analysis, Sinner has the advantage in terms of form and recent record at the French Open, he is young and energetic, with strong attacking firepower, and is on the rise of his career. Djokovic, on the other hand, has a wealth of tournament experience and comprehensive skills, a deep foundation on clay, and a first-class mental quality and tactical adjustment ability at critical moments.

In this French Open semifinals, the key to Sinner's chances of winning is to maintain a sharp and stable attack, and the key to Djokovic's chances of winning is whether he can have a high-quality serve to ensure that his service game is not broken.

Whether Sinner's offense can break through Djokovic's defense, and whether Djokovic can limit Sinner's play with experience and tactics, everything is full of suspense. Regardless of the outcome, it's going to be a thrilling matchup, and let's look forward to seeing the best of both worlds in action.
