The CTP had a clear opinion after seeing the match that lasted 5 hours and 32 minutes, becoming the longest final in the history of Roland Garros. The newspaper placed this party on the 3rd place in the history of all the Grand Slam finals.

In the opinion of Cristian Tudor Popescu posted on his personal Facebook account, only two other finals were over the one between Alcaraz and Sinner:
“Nastase-Smith-Ferer-Nadal-Alcaraz-Sinner! The Holy Trinity of the Grand Slam finals of all time!

Carlos Alcaraz returned amazingly in the match with Sinner, after being driven 0-2 to sets. The Italian also had 3 match balls, in the set 4. The Spaniard did not give up and imposed dramatically in the last two sets, each time in Tie-break. In the decisive set, he made an exceptional tie-break and won 10-2, adjusting his second career title at Roland Garros.
I want to start with Jannik. It's fabulous the level you showed. Congratulations to you and your team, I know how much you work. I know how much you hunted this trophy. You will become a champion here several times, I am convinced of it. I am honored to write history with you. We raise each other.
