  • 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.

  • The final lasted over five hours, with Alcaraz saving three championship points to force a deciding set in a highly praised contest.
