Paris/IBNS: Spanish tennis icon and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz scripted a memorable comeback from early setbacks to win the longest-ever French Open men's single final in Paris on Sunday.


It was indeed a treat for the viewers on a relaxing Sunday when Alcaraz, who went down in the initial two seats, came back harder to beat Italian Jannik Sinner.

Sinner, the current World Number 1 men's tennis player, took control of the first two sets, 6-4 and 7-6, of the Roland Garros final.

Here comes Alcaraz, who won the third and fourth sets 6-4 and 7-6 respectively.

After the fifth set went for a tie-breaker, the Spaniard clinched it 10-2 and then came the moment when he sealed the match with thefinal set win, 7-6.

Dissecting his performance, Alcaraz said, "In specific moments, I had to go for it... I just thought it was the time to go for it and not be afraid of the mistakes. I think today was all about belief in myself. I never doubted myself today and that's why I saw my best tennis in those crucial and difficult moments."

Praising Sinner, he added, "I am pretty sure you are going to be champion not once, but many, many times. It is a privilege to share the court with you in every tournament."

"I am just really, really happy to be able to make history with you in this tournament, in other tournaments; you are a huge inspiration to young kids and to me."

Lasting for five hours and 29 minutes, this has remained the longest-ever French Open final.

"You cannot compare this match with other matches, I believe. Physically, I was quite fine. Of course tired but he was tired too. We could see. It was a physical match, it was a mental match... Now, knowing the result, it is what it is. You can't really change it...," said Sinner after the match.
