Spain's Carlos Alcaraz celebrates after winning his French Open men's singles final match against Germany's Alexander Zverev on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros.

Alcaraz shrugged off an early break and blazed through the first set, which he finished with a big forehand winner, but he allowed Zverev to turn the tide and level the match as his unforced errors crept up.
