Carlos Alcaraz has won the men`s singles championship at the 2025 French Open, overcoming Jannik Sinner in a memorable and extended five-set encounter on Sunday. The final score of the match was 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (10-2).
Clocking in at five hours and 29 minutes, this epic showdown stands as the second-longest men`s major final in history by duration, trailing only the 2012 Australian Open final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
This significant victory marks Alcaraz`s fifth career Grand Slam title. Achieving this at the age of 22 years and 34 days places him as the third-youngest man in the Open Era to reach the milestone of five major championships.
Remarkably, Alcaraz`s path to victory involved a major comeback. Before this match, he held an 0-8 record in major tournaments when losing the first two sets, while Sinner had a perfect 39-0 record in majors after winning the first two sets. Furthermore, Alcaraz saved three match points in the fourth set, becoming only the third man in the Open Era to win a major title after facing at least three match points.
Following this classic triumph, widespread congratulations and praise for Alcaraz poured in from across the tennis world.
