Jannik Sinner powered past Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets on Tuesday to reach his first French Open semi-final, where he could face rival Carlos Alcaraz.
 
The Australian Open champion, who will become World No. 1 next week after Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal from the tournament, eased to a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) victory and will take on either Alcaraz or Stefanos Tsitsipas in the last four. 

“What can I say?” said the 22-year-old. “It’s every player’s dream to become No. 1 in the world. On the other hand, seeing Novak retiring [from the tournament] is disappointing, so wish him a speedy recovery.”
