Carlos Alcaraz says he is hoping to join the long list of Spanish French Open champions when he bids to become the youngest man to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces in the final against Alexander Zverev on Sunday.

The 21-year-old defeated Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon last year and also lifted the US Open trophy as a teenager in 2022.

"I have a special feeling at this tournament, because I remember when I finish school I'm running to my home just to put the TV on and watch the matches here in the French Open," Alcaraz said. Alcaraz has won both of his previous Slam finals – one more and he will be the youngest man to win major events on clay, grass and hard courts.

Zverev was once regarded as the biggest threat to the dominance of Nadal, Djokovic and Federer, but is now 27 and still chasing a maiden Grand Slam title. The case was dropped after a settlement was agreed hours before his semifinal win over Casper Ruud, who was struggling with illness. He reacted angrily when asked by a reporter if he was disappointed the case was dropped and he could not clear his name in court.
