- On June 9, 2025, Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious over Jannik Sinner in a marathon five-set match at the French Open, securing his fifth Grand Slam title in Paris.
- This match followed Rafael Nadal's retirement in November 2024 and featured two leading players of the new generation born in the 2000s.
- The final lasted over five hours, with Alcaraz saving three championship points to force a deciding set in a highly praised contest.
- Before the final, John McEnroe said on TNT Sports that Alcaraz and Sinner would be favored to beat Nadal at his peak on clay but doubted they would reach Nadal's 22 major titles.
