Carlos Alcaraz adds to growing legacy with unique statistic following epic comeback win in French Open final
ATPTuesday, 10 June 2025 at 06:30
The 2025 French Open came to a conclusion on Sunday, with the men's final featuring a memorable match between rivals Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
Both men were on a collision course for the final during the two week Grand Slam event, as each athlete cruised past the competition. Despite Sinner establishing a two sets to love lead, it as his Spanish opponent who saved three championship points to win the match and capture his fifth Grand Slam singles title.
Alcaraz joins Big 3 with impressive statistic
After successfully defending his French Open crown, Alcaraz has ensured he has won a Grand Slam title in the past four consecutive years. The 22-year old won the US Open in 2022, Wimbledon in 2023, Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2024 and now this year's French Open title.
By virtue of his latest victory, Alcaraz becomes just the fourth player this century to win a men's singles Grand Slam title for four consecutive years. The other three are well known in tennis history, namely the Big three of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have all achieved this feat.
The young Spaniard has been touted as the torchbearer for the next generation of tennis stars, alongside rival Jannik Sinner. The Italian lifted the Australian Open title earlier this year, after winning the US Open last September. With the Wimbledon Championships only a few weeks away, both men will be eager to add to their Grand Slam tally. Alcaraz currently sits at five trophies, whereas Sinner is holding his own with three Major singles titles.

- Maybe she's receiving hints that it's time to take a break if Gauff and suspended matches are too much for her.
mandoist19-06-2025 - Americans should be banned from competitive tennis. They are generally taller and have longer forearms. And of course, being a Wimbledon champion is wholly reliant on these two factors alone. Mental and physical preparation, training, mindset, level of fitness, tactics, competitor analysis etc. clearly have nothing to do with the match outcome. My position is borne out by the facts - of Wimbledon open women’s single champions, 29 have been American, whereas the whole of the rest of the world has only managed 27. This imbalance needs to be urgently addressed 🤣Paul10118-06-2025
- The general pattern has been Loser Bettors attacking people better than themselves through (anti)Social Media. The majority of threats and disgusting comments come from those who lose their lunch money, allowances, and rent money in online bets.mandoist17-06-2025
- Just realize the problem, then address the problem. Don't bullshit everyone (actually only yourself) for over a week and finally admit a simple mistake or misjudgement. It's never a good idea to try to justify shaky comments instead of owning them. Quicker one makes an admission of somewhat poor judgement, the sooner it goes away.mandoist17-06-2025

- BBC sports coverage blows anyway. Two most obvious reasons = They can't seem to shut their mouths often enough -- and they will bounce from one event to another at will. Not to mention show 90% of a sporting event and cut it short to go to regularly schedule programs! In short, BBC sucks.mandoist14-06-2025
- Jimmy, how much more pause are you talking about? By the time the match ends to the time they stage is erected and they mount it to accept the award is about 10 minutes. All players are not at the same maturity level. Culture and one's upbringing has a LOT to do with how players each respond to a loss. Some players just need to learn how to exercise self-control. It isn't everything that you want to say that you should say.Rapunzel11-06-2025
