Alcaraz wins Roland Garros 2025: Classic comeback, thrilling win over Sinner

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner delivered an emotional Roland Garros final. A 3-2 (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6) victory over the world number one gave Alcaraz his second consecutive Grand Slam title on clay.

Alcaraz started strong but lost game 1

Sinner started off rather slowly and was constantly at risk of losing the break when holding the serve. On the other hand, Alcaraz with his powerful forehand continuously caused his opponent many difficulties. However, the No. 1 seed's courage was always brought into play at the right time. Even when Sinner lost the break first in the 5th game.

The Italian quickly regained his balance in the game where Alcaraz served. Alcaraz's confusing serve made him almost lose the game. After the 7th game, Sinner had to seek medical attention (ankle pain) to continue playing.

In the 10th game, Alcaraz also needed medical attention when dust from the court got into his eyes. He had to use eye drops in the important game. As a result, the No. 2 seed lost the break in the 10th game, meaning he lost the first set with a score of 6-4.

Sinner brave in tie-break series

The second game was a mirror image of the first. Alcaraz was impatient and lost an early break in the second game. At one point, Sinner led Alcaraz 5-2. Alcaraz showed his champion's mettle by holding the game and successfully saving the break to bring the match into a tie-break.

Sinner's performance is still very high.

However, Alcaraz lost himself in the tie-break, while Sinner played with great spirit and won 7-4 in the tie-break to lead 2-0.

Alcaraz returns with great momentum

With his back against the wall, Alcaraz, who has two Roland Garros titles under his belt, was like a compressed spring that was about to be unlocked. He played like a trance in the "life or death" third set, fully utilizing his powerful forehand.

The scenario of the third game was quite similar to the second game, except the two players switched roles. This time, Alcaraz was the one who broke and Sinner chased. In the ninth game, Sinner demanded a break. However, once Alcaraz played with flying colors, nothing could stop him. He played bravely and broke his opponent again in the tenth game to win 6-4, shortening the score to 1-2.

Alcaraz revives strongly

The fourth game was filled with emotions. The scenario was quite similar to the second game, but Alcaraz completely transformed himself at the decisive moments. In the ninth game, it seemed like the championship trophy was firmly in Sinner's hands when he had 3 chances to break Alcaraz's serve, but then "little Nadal" brilliantly saved the break and kept his game.
