PARIS (AP) — The men's French Open final between the world's top two players is underway at Roland-Garros.

Jannik Sinner takes on defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. With partly cloudy conditions but no rain in the forecast, the retractable roof over Court Philippe-Chatrier remains open.

They share seven major titles, four for Alcaraz and three for Sinner, who is in the French Open final for the first time.

The top-ranked Sinner has not dropped a set at Roland-Garros, while the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz has dropped four sets.

Sinner is on a 20-match winning streak in Grand Slam tournaments, after winning the U.S. Open and the Australian Open.

The 22-year-old Alcaraz owns a tour-leading 21-1 record on clay this year and has beaten the 23-year-old Sinner in their past four meetings.

He leads him 7-4 overall. ___
