Alcaraz Overcomes Sinner in a Legendary Final to Claim His Second Roland-Garros Title!
The final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner was highly anticipated, and it delivered on all fronts. The world No. 2 and defending champion triumphed over his rival (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6) after being down two sets to love and saving three match points, all in a grueling 5-hour and 29-minute battle.
With his back against the wall, Alcaraz, the defending champion, showed nerves of steel to stay alive in this marathon final—the longest in the tournament's history. The world No. 2 initially trailed 6-4, 7-6, and even faced a 1-0 break deficit in favor of Sinner before clawing his way back by taking the third set.
Then, he came within inches of defeat, saving three match points on his serve at 5-3 in the fourth set. That was the turning point, as he erased a mini-break deficit in the tiebreak to clinch the fourth set.
Fueled by the electric atmosphere on Court Philippe-Chatrier, he carried the momentum into the fifth set, breaking Sinner in the very first game. He held onto that advantage until serving for the match—only for Sinner to stage a comeback, leveling the score and even leading 6-5, adding another layer of drama to this already epic final.
As if scripted, the two had to settle the match in a super tiebreak. Alcaraz quickly dashed the world No. 1's hopes, racing to a 7-0 lead before sealing it 10-2 to claim his second consecutive Roland-Garros title in a battle that will go down in Grand Slam final history.
Like Rafael Nadal, Alcaraz won his fifth Grand Slam title at the age of 22 years, 1 month, and 3 days. He also ended Sinner’s unbeaten streak in major tournaments, as the world No. 1 had been undefeated since last year’s US Open.
