It was Alcaraz’s second straight French Open title with a comeback, after trailing 2-1 in sets to Alexander Zverev in last year’s final, and a third major title from behind, following his five-set win against Novak Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final.

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.

The 22-year-old Alcaraz came back from two sets down for the first time in his career to beat Jannik Sinner and remain undefeated in Grand Slam finals.
