Roland Garros—Paris, France

Alcaraz Wins First French Open Title Over Zverev

No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz captured his third Major title on Sunday in Paris, France, defeating No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 to win his first French Open.

In a match that lasted four hours and 19 minutes, Alcaraz hit 52 winners, broke serve on nine occasions and struck three aces.

Improving his head-to-head matches with Zverev at five wins a piece, Alcaraz now owns three of the four Majors on his resume. The 21-year-old will have a chance to complete his Grand Slam collection at the 2025 Australian Open.

Defeating Sebastian Korda, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Stefanos Tsitipas and newly crowed world No. 1 Jannik en-route the finals, Alcaraz proved that his athletic game is built for all surfaces. He defeated Novak Djokovic for the Wimbledon titlel last year and Casper Ruud for his maiden Slam at the 2022 US Open.

To provide some perspective here:

Nadal completed the career Grand Slam plus the Olympic Gold Medal at 24

Federer completed the career Grand Slam at 27

Djokovic completed the career Grand Slam at 29

Alcaraz has a chance to complete the career Grand Slam plus the Olympic Gold…
