In a 5-hour, 29-minute marathon that ranks as one of the greatest championship matches in tennis history, the 22-year-old Spaniard recovered from a two-set deficit to defend his Roland-Garros title.

The 2025 French Open may go down as the official starting point for a new era of men's tennis. It will be the first meeting in a grand slam final between the sport's two ascendent stars: Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner will be seeking his fourth major title while defending champion Alcaraz is trying for his fifth Grand Slam championship.
