Alcaraz Wins Longest French Open Final Over Sinner

World number one Jannik Sinner suffered a heartbreaking loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final, missing three championship points before ultimately falling in a dramatic five-set battle. This marathon match, lasting five hours and 29 minutes, was the longest French Open final since 1968 and has already been called a 'classic.' Sinner, who was on a 20-match Grand Slam winning streak, graciously congratulated Alcaraz despite the agonizing defeat, acknowledging his opponent's incredible performance and resilience. Both players praised each other for their efforts, with Alcaraz earning his second consecutive French Open title and becoming only the second man in the professional era to win all of his first five Grand Slam singles finals, after Roger Federer. The showdown marked the first major final between two men born in the 2000s, underscoring a generational shift at the top of men’s tennis. Sinner reflected on the many opportunities he missed during the match but expressed gratitude for his team and the experience in Paris.
