Carlos Alcaraz protected his fortress Roland Garros as a gladiator. On Sunday, June 8 on Sunday, June 8, he convened the spirit of the warrior to defeat Janninik Sinner World No. 1 Jannik Sinner – who looked unstoppable – in the longest final of the French open men to defend his crown. Alcaraz has achieved what he never did before: Return from two sets to do what no one could do before – to organize a sinner in the Grand Slam final. He won an epic five-set 4-6, 7–6 (4), 4–6, 6–7 (3), 7-6 (10-2), which got into a super-bound break and lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes.
From the fifth and final bound breaking, he looked shaky in the opening two sets to the magic magic with his missile, Carlos Alcaraz showed that he could walk on the water. It was his second crown Roland Garros and the fifth title Grand Slam for 22 years old. | Roland Garros Final Elegats |
The best two players in the world created a spectacle worthy of Post-Nadal Epos in Philippe-Chamrier court. One appeared victorious, the other fell only a short-but competition laid the basis for rivalry that could define the post-Big era.
“Give the cup to both,” wrote Juan Martn del Potro, reflecting the feelings of many left magic five -hour marathon between the two flags of the new generation tennis. They both deserved the coupe des Mousquetaires – Alcaraz, just a touch more. Just a drop of shot more. Just about Backhand Cross Court more.
3 -hour brand 48 minutes
In the finals, Sinner took over the commanding lead 2-0. World No. 1, which returned in May from a three -month ban on doping, seemed to decide to decide the “king of clay”, Carlos Alcaraza, whose run to the finals was almost a fold. Sinner’s game was incredible – his sequences on the Paris clay seemed to redefine the limits of possibilities. Italian, a machine in hard judges, began to look at home on the clay. But Clay is Alcaraz’s territory and he carried the torch illuminated by Rafael Nadal. On Sunday, however, it seemed that the fortress would fall apart.
Statistically, ALCARAZ has never recovered from the two-set deficit in a large slam. But there was another character: three hours and 48 minutes. Sinner never won the match that expanded for this brand. Alcaraz seemed to know. He guaranteed a sinner at the beginning of the third set, secured a double break and struggled for the fourth match.
Forehand, who disappointed him late in the second set, yelled back to life. Those who flash the whips and came out, slipped over the clay like the bolts of the flash, held it in the competition. But across the net, the machine-frequency stood a free versatile-almost closed the door before the fifth set could arrive. In the fourth 5-4, with Alcaraz it is used to stay in the match, Sinner held three points of the championship.
Alcaraz saved them all. The clock ticked around 4:38. It was destined.
Since then, Sinner seemed to have lost his way. He entered the uncharted territory and began to disappear. Alcaraz, who sensed his opponent’s fatigue, increased his level again and showed the world a dazzling shot and tireless coverage that made Wunderkind modern tennis.
He closed the fourth set in a tie with tennis with falling jaws and shouted the winner from both wings with the same fury. His service games in the sets of three and four brought a small similarity to his early fights, where he could not win even 50 percent of points for his first portion.
While the warrior forced the referee in it, he was an artist in Alcaraz that appeared in the final set. He continued to pound his portions with accuracy and found that the lines that had betrayed him before. But now he added something else – his trademark shots – to release what was left of Sinner’s energy. Italian, who played only one clay court tournament in front of Roland Garros, grew more and more frustrated and could not convene his legs to chase these teasing.
But there was a reversal and came around the drop that Alcaraz walked when he served for the match at 5-4 in the fifth set. Sinner was sinking this time
