Sinner-Alcaraz Officially Becomes the Longest Final in Roland-Garros History

The summit clash between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz is living up to all expectations in this 2025 Roland-Garros final. The top two players in the ATP rankings are locked in an epic battle on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

After a wild turn of events, Alcaraz saved three match points on his serve in the fourth set before breaking back and forcing a fifth set after winning the tiebreaker.

With the score at 4-3 for Alcaraz (on a break) in the decisive set, the final is nearing five hours of play and will go down in history no matter the outcome—both for its dramatic storyline and its sheer duration.

Indeed, the match is already guaranteed to be the longest final in Roland-Garros history, surpassing the previous record set during the 1982 final between Mats Wilander and Guillermo Vilas (1-6, 7-6, 6-0, 6-4 in 4 hours and 42 minutes).
