Alcaraz stuns Sinner in classic

CARLOS ALCARAZ SAVED THREE championship points as he produced an astonishing fightback from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner in a French Open final for the ages last Sunday (June 8).

- 

Reigning champion Alcaraz rallied from the brink of defeat to overcome world number one Sinner 4-6, 6-7 (4/7), 6-4, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (10/2) after five hours and 29 minutes to clinch his fifth Grand Slam title.

The 22-year-old Spaniard is now unbeaten in five Grand Slam finals after snapping Sinner’s 20-match winning run at the majors.

"This was the most exciting match that I’ve played so far without a doubt," said Alcaraz. “I think the match had everything.”

Alcaraz pulled off his first ever comeback from two sets down in the longest Roland Garros final in history, recovering from 5-3 down in the fourth set when Sinner had three match points.
