Carlos Alcaraz channeled Rafael Nadal’s spirit and flipped the script with tactical brilliance, edging Jannik Sinner in a five-set Roland Garros epic.

John McEnroe has claimed that both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner would beat Rafael Nadal “at his best” after the pair contested an extraordinary French Open final. Alcaraz roared back to win a remarkable match in five sets having saved three championship points late in the fourth to force a decider.

Carlos Alcaraz pulled off a stunning five-set win over Jannik Sinner to maintain a 100 percent win record in Grand Slam finals. Alcaraz was two sets and a serve down in the third set, before he turned on beast mode and broke Sinner thrice to take the set 6-4.
