Carlos Alcaraz dropped an initial two sets and faced triple championship point, but excavated energy to outlast Jannik Sinner in a record 5-hour, 29-minute French Open finale Sunday in Paris.

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

Jannik Sinner said he won't sleep well tonight when he accepted the second-place trophy at the 2025 French Open. And no wonder. The French Open results amounted to a classic match between Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz that spanned three tie-breakers and five sets before Alcaraz took home the victory.
