Fun French Open whets Wimbledon appetite

In the latest edition of Second Serve, our weekly snapshot of the tours, BBC tennis reporter Jonathan Jurejko reviews the French Open and looks ahead to the grass-court season. Everyone needed a lie down after two intense French Open finals. Advertisement When Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz both fell flat on the court after winning the respective Roland Garros singles titles, it summed up a chaotic conclusion to a thrilling tournament. It was a French Open that delivered the lot - and whets the appetite for the Wimbledon, which is just around the corner. Recent editions of the clay-court Grand Slam tournament have been rather predictable. Rafael Nadal regularly handed out one-sided beatings on his way to a scarcely-believable 14 triumphs over a 17-year stretch, while Iga Swiatek did similar in her four victories between 2020 and 2024. So two exciting singles tournaments this year - both going all the way with nobody able to predict which way they would turn - were a fitting finish. Advertisement Alcaraz facing Jannik Sinner in the men's final was not a surprise. But the first meeting between the ATP Tour's standout pair in a Grand Slam showpiece ended in an all-time classic to further fuel what is fast becoming a must-see rivalry. That rounded out a men's tournament where Novak Djokovic showed he can still have a say at the top of the game. Would you rule the Serb great out of winning Wimbledon for an eighth time and matching Roger Federer's all-time men's record? Absolutely not. But you'd think he would need to avoid defending champion Alcaraz and world number one Sinner on the way. Advertisement Throwing in a genuine British hope with Jack Draper - who is now fourth in the world - further fuels the excitement for the All England Club. On the women's side, Sabalenka will remain favourite despite the painful nature of her defeat by Gauff. Sabalenka's powerful game works on any surface and, although she fell agonisingly short of a first clay-court major, you would still back her to win a non-hard court major. But, with eight different winners in the past eight years, the women's singles at Wimbledon has been unpredictable in recent years. Bring it on. [BBC] The debate about the French Open night sessions reignited. No women's matches were chosen for the primetime spot, leading to accusations the tournament did not think the female stars were worthy of it. Rafael Nadal, a 14-time champion here, was given an emotional send-off following his retirement last year. The other members of the 'Big Four' - Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray - joined thim on court. She might have insisted it was not a "miracle", but French wildcard Lois Boisson reaching the semi-finals in her first Grand Slam tournament was incredible. [BBC] Britain's Draper might have lost earlier than expected when he was beaten by 62nd-ranked Alexander Bublik in the last 16 in Paris, but he has reached a new career high of fourth in the world. Advertisement Italy's Lorenzo Musetti moved up to sixth after reaching the semi-finals, while American Tommy Paul - up to eighth after making the quarter-finals - is the third man in the top 10 to climb to a new career high. Britain's Cameron Norrie is the sharpest riser in the top 100, jumping 21 spots to 60 after reaching the fourth round. [BBC] It always felt Iga Swiatek's reign as the 'Queen of Clay' was under threat going into Roland Garros - and so it proved. The four-time champion's semi-final exit means she has dropped to seventh in the world - her lowest ranking since the start of 2022. Advertisement The biggest leap in the WTA rankings is, of course, 22-year-old Boisson. The French wildcard started her maiden Grand Slam ranked 361st and has climbed a whopping 296 spots to a career-high 65th. [BBC] [BBC] Who says the British can't play on clay? Norrie, 29, slipped perilously close to dropping out of the top 100 before reaching the Geneva final and then the Roland Garros last 16 for the first time. Draper reached the fourth round and Jacob Fearnley advanced to the third round on his debut - losing to Norrie - while Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal both earned their first main-draw wins. Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Kartal each continued their upward trajectory in the world rankings, with Kartal now a top-50 player for the first time. Advertisement Doubles pair Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury continued their progress a pairing by reaching the men's final, while Alfie Hewett was runner-up in the wheelchair singles. Hewett fought back from heartbreak, though, to clinch a sixth successive doubles title with partner Gordon Reid. And 16-year-old Hannah Klugman underlined her huge potential by becoming the first Briton to reach the junior final in almost 50 years. [BBC] A host of LTA grass-court tournaments have already started in the UK. On Monday, the WTA event at Queen's - the first time that a women's tournament has been held at the west London club since 1973 - returns. Advertisement Britain's Boulter, Raducanu and Kartal headline the event, which you can follow across the BBC. On the ATP Tour, the grass-court swing kicks off with events in German city Stuttgart and s'Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. Got any questions?

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's epic French Open final proved the future of men's tennis is in good hands

For five hours and 29 minutes on Sunday, tennis fans around the world were treated to one of the most absurd spectacles the sport has ever seen. In the longest French Open final – and the second longest grand slam final – in history, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner showed once again that tennis' future is in safe hands. With Novak Djokovic in the twilight of his career and Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal already hanging up their rackets, it would be entirely natural for fans to worry about the considerable void the three greatest players of all time will leave behind them. But as Alcaraz and Sinner crushed groundstrokes at each other on the iconic red clay of Roland Garros, displayed pinpoint precision with deft drop shots and volleys, and chased down each shot with a fierce determination, nobody was thinking about the Big Three and whether their sizeable shoes still needed filling. Instead, it was one of those special sporting moments in which everyone watching knew they were witnessing history. That Alcaraz ended up the victor – improbably coming back from two sets down for the first time and saving three championship points to eventually win 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) – was largely immaterial to the final spectacle; Sinner winning that final-set championship tiebreak wouldn't have made the match any less remarkable. Even before Sunday's epic final, John McEnroe was so impressed with what he had seen from the pair in Paris that he made the case, though admitted it sounded 'semi crazy to say,' that either Alcaraz or Sinner would beat the Big Three at their peak. 'You took a look at them bringing their A-game right now – I'm saying Sinner and Alcaraz against Rafael Nadal on clay, you know, he won this 14 times – you would make a serious argument with both guys that they would be favored to beat Nadal, at his best,' he told TNT Sports. 'Now, do I think they're going to reach, 20, 24 titles either one of them? No. Because I think that plateau is so hard it's almost impossible – there's more depth in the game, bigger hitters, and more things happen. 'But these two guys right now, it's like when you watch the NBA and you say nobody could be better than Michael Jordan. The tennis level right now is higher than I've ever seen.' Boris Becker, another former world No. 1, said the current level of tennis shown by Alcaraz and Sinner is 'exactly the level' the Big Three played at. There is no doubt that an intense rivalry can elevate and even transcend a sport, and tennis has been blessed with no shortage of great rivalries over the past two decades. The drama and pageantry of the 2008 Wimbledon final between Nadal and Federer and the 2012 Australian Open final between Nadal and Djokovic elevated them both beyond the status of a mere tennis final. They are now singular events that beg the question: 'Where were you when…?' We could now be seeing the blossoming of tennis' next great rivalry, with the head-to-head between Alcaraz and Sinner now at an intriguing crossroads. Alcaraz leads 8-4 but, crucially, has now won five matches in a row against Sinner and currently appears to have the world No. 1's number. The Italian is 111-10 since the 2023 Beijing Open, but half of the losses are to the man from Murcia, including all of Sinner's three losses in his last 50 matches. But a large part of the fascination in watching two rivals battle it out for the duration of their careers comes from the twists and turns, as both parties figure out weaknesses and try to gain the upper hand. For example, between March 2013 and January 2014, Nadal beat Federer five times in a row, before the Swiss turned the tide to win the next six matches between the two giants from November 2015 to March 2019. The future of tennis' newest rivalry will be the subject of much debate between now and the start of Wimbledon at the end of the month, but it seems a fairly safe bet that Alcaraz and Sinner – who have now won the last six grand slams between them – will be battling it out at the top for a long time to come. Alcaraz found it hard to explain what it was like playing in a match of that standard, describing it as 'amazing.' 'To put it into words is really difficult,' he told Eurosport's Lesly Boitrelle and Àlex Corretja. 'Being two sets to love down against the No. 1 in the world, the level Jannik was playing at was unbelievable. 'It's my first time coming back from two sets to love down. Honestly, I just poured my heart into it, I just tried to keep going, not think about the result and just play my best tennis in the third and fourth, and then the fifth. 'The fifth set was just not giving up, it was just fighting and thinking point after point, and at the end of the fifth I was just playing with heart. Honestly, I don't know what I did to win this match. I'm really, really happy and proud with how I dealt with everything today.'
