Alcaraz won his fifth major in just as many finals appearances, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2). The match took five hours, 29 minutes, making it the longest French Open final in history, and the second longest major final of all time ( Novak Djokovic and Nadal went 5 hours, 53 minutes, at the 2012 Australian Open).

Alcaraz, 22, fought from two sets down and saved three championship points to defend his Roland Garros crown in a magnificent six-hour Paris thriller
