Alcaraz gets the chance to defend his title after roaring back tactically against Musetti, who then succumbed to an injury.

Alcaraz is already a four-time Grand Slam title holder at 22 years old and entered Roland-Garros as the reigning champion. By comparison, Musetti is still looking for the first major title of his career and never advanced past the round of 16 at this event prior to this year.
