Carlos Alcaraz beat world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final of the French Open on Sunday, taking the 22-year-old’s Grand Slam haul to five titles. But that barely does justice to the drama that played out at the Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his title at the 2025 French Open on Sunday, June 8. The Spaniard defeated Jannik Sinner in an engrossing five-set bout, in the finals, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2).
