Carlos Alcaraz Outlasts Jannik Sinner in Record-Breaking French Open Final

Posted : 09 June 2025

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner delivered one of the most electrifying matches in tennis history during the French Open final, with numerous former champions declaring it surpassed anything achieved by the sport's iconic Big Three.

 

In a five-set thriller, the 22-year-old Alcaraz saved three match points to rally from two sets down and defeat Sinner 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(10-2), captivating fans in Paris with his resilience and flair. The match, lasting five hours and 29 minutes, shattered the previous record for the longest Roland Garros final set in 1982 by Mats Wilander.

 

The quality of play reached staggering heights, as both players combined for 123 winners and an astonishing pace from the baseline that left even tennis legends awestruck. Wilander, who was on commentary duty, admitted he never thought he’d see a level surpassing Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, but declared Alcaraz and Sinner had elevated the sport even further.

 

The final scoreline reflected the razor-thin margin between the two, with Sinner actually winning one more point overall, yet falling short of becoming the first Italian male champion in Paris since 1976.

 

The match marked the first Grand Slam final between these two rising stars, who have now claimed seven of the last eight major titles between them. With Sinner just 23 and Alcaraz a year younger, former champions like Jim Courier and John McEnroe predicted this rivalry would match or even surpass those of the previous generation.

 

 McEnroe boldly suggested that both Alcaraz and Sinner would be legitimate threats to a prime Rafael Nadal on clay, calling the level of tennis “higher than I’ve ever seen.”

 

Andre Agassi, who presented the trophy, noted Alcaraz’s growing dominance and hinted that grass courts might now be his strongest surface. Comparing the Spaniard to all-time greats, Agassi said Alcaraz combines the speed of Djokovic, the finesse of Federer, and the power of Nadal—potentially even exceeding them in those areas. With Wimbledon around the corner, the tennis world braces for the continuation of a rivalry that could define the next decade of the sport.
