Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open for the first time in his career. He faced German player Alexander Zverev in the final match.
The match lasted for over 4 hours and went the full five sets. Alcaraz took the first set, but then lost the next two. In the fourth set, Alcaraz looked confident and closed it out with four breaks. By the fifth set, Zverev was visibly fatigued, and victory went to his opponent. Interestingly, this was Zverev's second final loss at a Grand Slam tournament.
Roland Garros. Final
Alexander Zverev (Germany, 4) — Carlos Alcaraz (Spain, 3) — 3:6, 6:2, 7:5, 1:6, 2:6.
It's noteworthy that for Alcaraz, this was his third Grand Slam final in his career, and he has won all three. Remarkably, Carlos became the youngest tennis player to win a Grand Slam tournament on all three surfaces—US Open 2022, Wimbledon 2023, and Roland Garros 2024.
