Carlos Alcaraz ‘finds joy in suffering’ to reach first French Open final

Alcaraz, 21, is now the youngest man in history to have reached a slam final on all surfaces, breaking Andre Agassi’s record by a full year.

“You have to fight, you have to suffer. As I told to my team many, many times, you have to enjoy suffer.” Sinner had chasing some history at Roland Garros, with no Italian man having reached the French Open final since Adriano Panatta in 1976. By the time Chatrier finally filled up, Alcaraz had got on the board, but the most highly-anticipated match of tournament was threatening to underdeliver as the pair shared 46 unforced errors in the first two sets.

Whatever inspiration he needed, he seemed to find it, rattling off five games in a row and levelling the match after 91 minutes.
