History-Making Comeback: Carlos Alcaraz Wins Epic Five-Set Battle in 2025 French Open Final
Tennis Championship's Eternal Summit Climaxes with Alcaraz's Triumph at the French Open
In an electrifying display of resilience, world number two Carlos Alcaraz claimed the French Open title for a second consecutive year, triumphing over world number one Jannik Sinner in an epic five-set battle that breaks the record for the longest Roland Garros final ever.
With the tennis court as his battleground, Alcaraz showcased a remarkable comeback after finding himself in a 0:2 set deficit, ultimately saving three championship points against Sinner in a nail-biting fourth set.
After 5 hours and 29 minutes of exhilarating play, the 22-year-old emerged victorious, converting his first match point in a thrilling match tiebreak to secure the win 4:6, 6:7 (4:7), 6:4, 7:6 (7:3), 7:6 (10:2).
Sinner witnessed what may well be the most crushing defeat of his career in his first Roland Garros final, despite having previously claimed three major titles. The match, which attracted a crowd of 15,000 spectators, including tennis legends Dirk Nowitzki and George Russell, proved too dramatic for even the legendary Andre Agassi to handle, who shook his head in disbelief on the tribune.
Sinner's Unfortunate Misfortune
Having strolled through the tournament without dropping a set until the final, Sinner faced his first significant challenge against Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, while Alcaraz had a tougher route to the final, encountering set losses and a test against Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals. Both players entered the final displaying a similar level of fatigue.
