Carlos Alcaraz triumphed in a thrilling French Open final against Jannik Sinner, completing a remarkable comeback. Alcaraz saved three championship points before winning in a fifth-set tiebreak, marking the longest final at Roland Garros in the Open Era. This match signals a shift in men's tennis, as the dominance of the previous Big Three (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer) fades. Alcaraz and Sinner, both 20-somethings, are emerging as the new stars, winning the last six major titles and showcasing their rivalry in a memorable final.
"I've been doing this for 30 years, lucky enough to be here, that's one of the all-timers, easily," said a stunned John McEnroe on the broadcast at the match's conclusion.
For 20 years, three men -- Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer -- ruled the men's tennis landscape, combining to win 66 major titles.
Sunday's clash marked the first major final between the two, and the first loss with a Slam championship on the line for Sinner, and now there is no debate.
Together, the duo has won the past six major titles, and the era of the new Big Two is officially here.
