Carlos Alcaraz wins epic French Open, outlasts Jannik Sinner in 5 sets for title
Carlos Alcaraz wins epic French Open, outlasts Jannik Sinner in 5 sets for title Show Caption Hide Caption Jessica Pagula on accomplished Coco Gauff, Emma Navarro, Madison Keys Tennis player Jessica Pegula discusses how amazing it is to have other amazing American women in tennis dominating the sport. Sports Seriously It was a classic final on the red clay of Roland Garros. Though things looked bleak early, Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his French Open title, rallying to stun world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in an epic five-set marathon. Alcaraz, 22, claimed his sixth career Grand Slam, coming back from a two-set deficit to win for the first time in his pro career, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) in a match that lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes. It was the longest men's singles final in French Open history, surpassing the 4 hours and 42 minutes it took Mats Vilander to beat Guillermo Vilas in 1982. The second-seeded Spaniard was in big trouble early as Sinner held him off in a second-set tiebreaker. But with the crowd at Court Phillippe-Chatrier behind him, Alcaraz summoned the inner strength to battle back -- fighting off three match points in the fourth set with Sinner serving for the championship. Alcaraz's improbable comeback ended Sinner's bid for a third consecutive Grand Slam title, after the Italian had previously won the 2025 Australian Open and 2024 U.S. Open. USA TODAY Sports will be providing updates for Sunday's men's final at Roland Garros: 1-Jannik Sinner 6 7 (4) 4 6 6 2-Carlos Alcaraz 4 6 6 7 (3) 7 (2) There was just no way the final set in this record-setting marathon would be easy. With a service break in the opening game of the decisive fifth set, Carlos Alcaraz was poised to complete his epic comeback from two sets down against Jannik Sinner. Riding the momentum of his tiebreak win in the fourth set, Alcaraz quickly took the upper hand with a service break that put him ahead for the first time since early in the opening set. Yet with Alcaraz serving for the championship, Sinner dug deep for a crucial service break that tied it back up 5-5 as the match passed the five-hour mark to become the longest men's final in French Open history. Alcaraz ended it quickly in the final set tiebreaker, winning 10-2. We'll be going to a fifth and deciding set in Paris. Carlos Alcaraz fought off three championship points in the fourth set before pulling off a clutch service break as Jannik Sinner was serving for the match. By holding serve at 6-5, the defending champion pulled even to extend the match. Despite losing the first two points of the tiebreaker, Alcaraz roared back with a pair of aces to win it 7-3. Alcaraz has rallied from down two sets to win two of his own – setting up a winner-take-all Grand Slam showdown between the world's two best players on the clay courts of Roland Garros. In his pro career, Carlos Alcaraz has never come back from two sets down to win a match. He's at least one step closer to that historic first after taking the third set from Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz seemed to grab new life as he won an epic 22-shot point to close out a service break and take a 3-1 lead on Sinner, putting a finger to his ear to urge the crowd on. But with the Spaniard serving for the set at 5-3, Sinner bounced back just in time with a break of his own. And yet, somehow Alcaraz found a way to return the favor, breaking Sinner at love to win the set. That snaps Sinner's streak of 31 consecutive sets won in Grand Slam events. Jannik Sinner is one set away from his third consecutive Grand Slam title. An unforced error by Alcaraz at 15-30 in the second game gave Sinner an early opening in the second set. After saving one break point, Alcaraz hit a forehand long to give Sinner a 2-0 edge. Despite trailing 4-1, Alcaraz refused to give in. After holding serve to make it 4-2, he began pumping his arms in an effort to get the crowd fired up. He's clearly the fan favorite here at Court Phillippe-Chatrier. Perhaps buoyed by the fan support, Alcaraz surged back with a clutch break in the ninth game to get back on serve – paving the way to a tiebreaker. Alcaraz saved one set point on Sinner's serve, but couldn't hold his own in falling 7-4 in the tiebreaker. The first game on the storied clay court was a 12-minute mini-marathon as Sinner finally held serve. That would be a portent of things to come in the opening set. The two heavyweights traded a pair of service breaks midway through before Sinner stunningly ended the progression by breaking Alcaraz at 5-4 to take the first set. Officially, it took one hour and two minutes to complete. We could be in for a classic. There has been a slight delay in the proceedings, but we're now ready to go in the 2025 French Open men's final. Sinner will serve first. What time is the French Open men's final?
