When Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to injury, it was confirmed that Jannik Sinner would move to the top of the world rankings for the first time. The Italian celebrated the landmark achievement by brutally dispatching 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov in three sets. It was an assured performance from a player at the top of his game, with his relentless power simply too much for the 33-year-old.
Sinner, who after securing his first Slam in Melbourne added titles in Rotterdam and Miami to his collection, now faces a familiar opponent in Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard looked razor sharp as he dispatched Stefanos Tsitsipas with ease in the quarter-finals and is looking at home on the famous red clay courts. The pair will now play each other for the ninth time and there is nothing between them with both players holding four wins apiece.
Who will emerge victorious this time around and reach a first French Open final? You’ll have to tune in to find out so read on to discover how to get a Alcaraz vs Sinner live stream and watch the 2024 French Open from wherever you are.

Watch Alcaraz vs Sinner live streams from anywhere
It's natural that you might want to watch the Alcaraz vs Sinner live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when it's on?
You can still watch the French Open live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN.
