French Open: Jannik Sinner Beats Dimitrov To Sweep Into Semis, Set To Become World No. 1
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Jannik Sinner on Tuesday swept past 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov into the semifinals of the French Open and within minutes was told that he would be the next World No.1 in men's singles following Novak Djokovic's withdrawal with an injury. Sinner, who needed to reach the final to replace the Serbian defending champion from the top spot, managed that after winning the quarterfinal against Dimitrov 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3).
Djokovic withdrew ahead of his quarterfinal clash with Casper Ruud due to a right knee injury. Djokovic had to reach the final to have a chance of remaining at No. 1. The Italian will be the 29th player to climb to the top spot and the first from his country.
Sinner, who will become the first Italian player to become men's World No.1, is into his first semifinal on Paris clay and will face either Carlos Alcaraz or Stefanos Tsitsipas.
