Your guide to when Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic in a huge showdown in the French Open 2023 semi-finals.
It’s almost time for the big one, the match touted as a potential classic before a ball had been struck at Roland-Garros in the French Open 2023: Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic.
The two men were placed in the same half of the draw in Paris, with fingers tracing their routes to the final revealing they would be forced to face one another prior to the showpiece finale.
With the greatest of respect to rising superstar Casper Ruud and the accomplished Alexander Zverev, the Alcaraz versus Djokovic duel has the distinct whiff of a de facto final.
Tennis has undergone a major landscape shift in recent years with Roger Federer retired, Rafael Nadal sitting out until 2024 and Andy Murray in hip-related decline. Old rivalries have matured into respectful friendships.
However, Djokovic, in the autumn of his career, will not go quietly. Alcaraz has arrived and proven himself at the very top level but he must continue to get the better of his Serbian opponent throughout 2023 to establish himself as No.1 in the minds of fans across the globe.
RadioTimes.com brings you the date and time for Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-finals.
