French Open—Paris, France
Alcaraz Wins 2025 French Open Title Over Sinner
Saturday’s Results from Roland Garros
Sunday’s final in Paris, France featured the world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz capturing his fifth career Major, defeating top seed Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2).
In the longest men’s final in French Open history, Alcaraz needed five hours and 29 minutes to collect his victory. Striking 70 winners, seven aces, won 63 percent of his first serve points and broke his Italian opponent on seven occasions.
Improving to 8-4 against Sinner in lifetime meetings, Alcaraz has now owns five career Majors.
The Italian star did not drop a set all tournament long until the finals.
Winning his title in front of the Parisian crowd, Alcaraz will next set his sights at winning his third-straight title at Wimbledon later this month.
Sinner, who fell to 3-1 in Major finals, defeated three-time former winner and No. 6 seed Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3) in the semifinals.
Playing in only his third tournament of the season because of a three-month doping suspension, Sinner is next scheduled to compete at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, Germany.
Sinner is the defending champion at the grass-court event.
The Italian has never won Wimbledon, and along with Djokovic, will be Alcaraz’s greatest competition when the year’s third Major gets underway in London, England.
For Alcaraz, he completes a stellar clay-court campaign, which includes winning titles in Monte Carlo, Monaco, Rome, Italy, and making the finals in Barcelona, Spain.
