Last Updated: June 8, 2025By

The 2025 French Open men’s singles final wound up being one of the greatest matches in tennis history. No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz took down No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner in five sets (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6) to win his second straight title at Roland Garros.

Alcaraz’s comeback in Sunday’s championship was one for the ages. Not only did he come back from a two-set deficit, he also faced a triple championship point when Sinner was ahead 5-3 in the fourth set. The Spaniard wound up winning the set on a tiebreak.

Alcaraz appeared to be in control in the fifth set, but Sinner stormed back to take a 6-5 lead in the decisive fifth set. However, Alcaraz won the 12th game in order to force a tiebreak, which he won 10-2. 

The match took over five hours, making it the second-longest match in a men’s singles championship final at a Grand Slam event. 

Sunday’s victory marked Alcaraz’s fifth Grand Slam title and his fifth straight win over Sinner.
