ISLAMABAD: Carlos Alcaraz delivered a legendary performance on Sunday, saving three championship points to defeat world number one Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller and claim the French Open title.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In what turned out to be the longest final in Roland Garros history, the 22-year-old Spaniard rallied from two sets down to win 4-6, 6-7 (4\/7), 6-4, 7-6 (7\/3), 7-6 (10\/2).<\/p>\n

The gripping contest lasted five hours and 29 minutes, showcasing not only athletic brilliance but also mental strength from both players.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz now boasts an unbeaten record in Grand Slam finals, having won all five he\u2019s contested so far.<\/p>\n

Historic Feat at Roland Garros<\/h3>\n

This was Alcaraz\u2019s first-ever comeback victory from two sets down in a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

With this win, he becomes the third-youngest male player in history to lift five major titles, behind legends Bjorn Borg and Rafael Nadal.<\/p>\n

The match shattered previous records, surpassing the 1982 French Open final in duration and intensity.<\/p>\n

Sinner, who came into the final riding a 20-match Grand Slam winning streak, fell just short of a historic third straight major title.<\/p>\n

His previous victories include the 2024 US Open and back-to-back Australian Open crowns.<\/p>\n

Clash of a New Generation<\/h3>\n

Sunday\u2019s final marked the first Grand Slam championship meeting between two players born in the 2000s.<\/p>\n

Despite holding three match points, Sinner couldn’t close it out against a resilient Alcaraz, who now leads their head-to-head record 8-5.<\/p>\n

Their intense rivalry has become one of the most anticipated in modern tennis.<\/p>\n

This latest showdown adds another chapter to their growing legacy and hints at many more electrifying encounters in the future.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz also previously defeated Sinner in Rome, a tournament that marked the Italian’s return after a doping-related suspension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
