This victory marks his third Grand Slam title, completing the rare feat of winning major championships on all three surfaces: hard courts (US Open), grass (Wimbledon), and clay (Roland Garros).
Alcaraz, the No. 3 seed, defeated No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev in the final, which was played on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros in Paris. The match was a thrilling contest, with Alcaraz emerging victorious in four sets, 6-3, 2-6, 6-1, and 6-1.
This win cements Alcaraz’s position as one of the top players in the world, and he becomes the youngest man to achieve the Grand Slam triple crown. His impressive performance at the French Open, where he dropped just three sets on his way to the title, has further solidified his reputation as a formidable force in tennis.
Alcaraz’s journey to the title was marked by impressive victories over top-ranked opponents, including No. 2 seed Jannik Sinner in the semifinals. His ability to adapt to different surfaces and conditions has been a key factor in his success, and he has shown remarkable resilience and determination throughout the tournament.
