Carlos Alcaraz Clinches Second French Open Title After Epic Comeback Against Jannik Sinner

Paris: In one of the most thrilling Grand Slam finals in recent memory, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz staged a stunning comeback to defeat world number one Jannik Sinner and capture his second French Open title at Roland Garros on Sunday.

The 22-year-old defending champion, showing incredible grit and resilience, clawed back from two sets down to win 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) on the iconic Court Philippe-Chatrier.

With this victory, Alcaraz secures his fifth Grand Slam title overall and his first major since conquering Wimbledon in 2024, where he famously defeated Novak Djokovic. The win also cements his unbeaten record in Grand Slam finals, underlining his growing legacy in the sport.

The final, lasting over five hours, was a showcase of world-class tennis and mental fortitude. Both players delivered electrifying performances, but it was Alcaraz’s relentless determination and clutch play in the final-set tiebreaker that ultimately earned him the title.
