Alcaraz Wins Longest French Open Final Over Sinner

In the 2025 French Open final, Carlos Alcaraz staged a remarkable comeback from two sets down to defeat world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the longest final in Roland Garros history, lasting five hours and 29 minutes. Alcaraz, now with five Grand Slam titles, saved three championship points and improved his head-to-head record against Sinner to 8-5. Both players, aged 22 and 23, have dominated recent Grand Slams, collectively winning six of the last seven majors, signaling a new generation in tennis. John McEnroe praised their high level of play but doubted either would reach the record number of major titles held by Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer. The match was widely regarded as one of the greatest in tennis history, with former players like Tim Henman expressing admiration for the intense competition. Alcaraz's victory marked his first comeback from two sets down in a major final, underscoring his resilience and skill on clay courts.
