Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner ignited a thrilling rivalry with an epic final-set tiebreak at the 2025 French Open. The match lasted five hours and 29 minutes, making it the longest final in Roland Garros history.

In an extraordinary display of resilience, Alcaraz saved three match points—becoming the first player ever to do so en route to winning a Roland Garros final. He then defeated Sinner in the following game and captured the fourth set in a tense tiebreak. Riding that momentum, the Spanish star surged through the fifth set to win the French Open for the second consecutive year.

With this victory, Alcaraz becomes the third-youngest man in history to win five Grand Slam titles.Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner continues to shine on hard courts, having claimed two Australian Open titles and one US Open. He also boasts an impressive 21-match winning streak at hard-court Grand Slam events.
