Telling sight as Carlos Alcaraz creates history with first French Open title

Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz has achieved what the ‘King of Clay’ Rafael Nadal couldn’t this year as the 21-year-old downed Alexander Zverev and won the French Open title. Alcaraz triumphed 6-3 2-6 5-7 6-1 6-2 over four hours and 19 minutes to secure his third grand slam and become the youngest in men’s tennis history to triumph on each of the three surfaces, surpassing Nadal by 18 months.

Carlos Alcaraz makes history with French Open title. He is now just an Australian Open championship away from becoming the youngest to complete a career grand slam — and such is the speed at which he has become a force that he could do so in 2027 and still claim that record. After the 14-time champion Nadal was knocked out by Zverev in the first round, Alcaraz stepped up to fulfil Spain’s modern destiny by winning Roland Garros — the country’s men have now claimed 17 of the past 23 titles.
