Tennis is in great hands: From Rod Laver to Andy Roddick, reactions to epic Alcaraz-Sinner final
The French Open final between Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Italy's Jannik Sinner ended with the former edging it in the fifth set tie-break. It was an intensively fought battle that went for five hours and 29 minutes. The event whetted the appetite of the fans and former players of what lies ahead in the future for tennis. 'Easily one of the greatest matches of all time. Anyone who doesn't think so is just living in their own nostalgia. What Carlos did in the fifth set breaker might have been the best run of 12 points that I've ever seen anyone have. It's just absurd the level that these two have taken this game to. Like the big three before them, like they're pushing the game to heights that I don't know that we've ever seen before.' -Andy Roddick on YouTube 2003 US Open winner Still taking in that incredible men's final at Roland Garros. So happy for @carlosalcaraz – five Grand Slams at just 22! My heart goes out to Jannik Sinner, who showed real class in defeat. What a match, thank you both. Tennis is in great hands. – Rod Laver on X 11-time Major winner After an epic match of cinematic proportions and 5+ hours of play, @carlosalcaraz is the Men's Singles Champion at #RolandGarros! Congratulations! An unbelievable comeback (…) An incredible effort from both players and one of the greatest finals I have watched. – Billie Jean King on X 12-time Major winner This match is off the charts. Never seen a final this level. Nobody deserves to lose this. – James Blake on X Former world No 4 'What a match! Thank you @carlosalcaraz and @janniksin for one of the most beautiful matches I have ever seen. Bravo to both of you, and can't wait to see more grand slam finals of the two of you. Vive le tennis' – Caroline Garcia on X 2-time French Open doubles winner 'What an incredible @rolandgarros final! Congratulations @carlosalcaraz! Well done also @janniksin for the fantastic battle' -Rafal Nadal on X 22-time Major Winner
