The Spaniard defeated Alexander Zverev in dramatic five-set thriller in Paris

Carlos Alcaraz has claimed his first Roland-Garros title and the third Grand Slam trophy of his career, with a thrilling five-set victory over Alexander Zverev on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

The 21-year-old Spaniard fought back from two sets to one down, ultimately triumphing in an emotionally charged final with a score of 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 after four hours and 19 minutes of intense play.

Alcaraz appeared to be in a precarious position after losing the third set despite leading 5-2 and having the chance to serve for the set at 5-3. However, he rebounded remarkably in the fourth and fifth sets, showcasing his resilience and skill on the iconic Parisian red clay.

With this victory, Alcaraz adds the French Open title to his previous wins at the 2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon. At just 21 years old, he becomes the seventh and youngest player in history to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces – hard, grass, and clay.
