It took 5 1/2 hours, but on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open for the second straight year. Alcaraz bested Jannik Sinner in a grueling, thrilling match after a stunning comeback, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2).

Bad starts in Grand Slam finals are nothing new for Carlos Alcaraz, and each time it’s happened he has won the tournament anyway. But not in such dramatic style as Sunday’s French Open

Alcaraz won his fifth major in just as many finals appearances, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2). The match took five hours, 29 minutes, making it the longest French Open final in history, and the second longest major final of all time ( Novak Djokovic and Nadal went 5 hours, 53 minutes, at the 2012 Australian Open).
