"It was almost a miracle that Carlos ended up winning this match," Becker reflects on the Alcaraz-Sinner final at Roland Garros
In an interview shared by *Punto de Break*, Boris Becker revisited the epic final between Alcaraz and Sinner at Roland Garros. The Spaniard had won after being down 2 sets to 0, saving 3 match points in the fourth set at 5-3, 0-40 on his serve:
*"We have to thank both of them—it was almost a miracle that Carlos ended up winning this match, because Jannik had it in his hands. He had played nearly perfect tennis. I think it was the best match I’ve ever seen live; the level of tennis was unreal.*
*It’s a great lesson for kids watching at home. The way they carried themselves and the attitude they showed the entire time—they didn’t make a single excuse for five and a half hours.*
*Both of them found solutions, hit the ball perfectly—we can never thank them enough. It’s not just about the length of the match, but how they played and how they moved. They gave 100%. For the first time in my life, I would have loved to see a draw."*
