The 22-year-old remains perfect in Grand Slam finals and ended Sinner’s 20-match winning streak in majors.
It was the longest final ever at Roland Garros and Alcaraz’s first comeback from two sets down, making him the third youngest to win five Slams.
Sinner was close to a third consecutive Grand Slam title but couldn’t close out the match despite holding three championship points.
The match was the first major final between players born in the 2000s. Alcaraz now leads their head-to-head 8–5.
Sinner took the first two sets, but Alcaraz stormed back, saving championship points and dominating the final-set tie-break to seal a historic win.
