Carlos Alcaraz Rates his Roland Garros Final Performance Amongst The Best in his Career
Carlos Alcaraz has had an excellent clay season, winning the Masters 1000 titles in Monte Carlo and Rome, and had an extraordinary title defense at Roland Garros. The 22-year-old now boasts five Grand Slam titles and will be looking to defend his Wimbledon title next.
Alcaraz will commence his grass season with the Queen’s Club Championships. At a press conference before the start of the tournament, he spoke about the level of tennis he achieved in the Roland Garros final:
Honestly, I don’t think I can raise the level I showed in that final. We both played at a spectacular level, and it’s the best match I’ve ever played in my entire career.
That final will be remembered as one of the greatest Grand Slam finals. It was an epic five-set battle between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and World No. 2 Alcaraz who met for the first time in a Grand Slam final. Clocking 5 hours and 29 minutes, it marked the second longest Grand Slam final in history and the longest in the history of the tournament.
Carlos Alcaraz is still in shock over the three championship points he saved
Carlos Alcaraz showed great fighting spirit as he won a five-set match for the first time after dropping the first two sets. Moreover, it was how the Spaniard saved three championship points in the fourth set, trailing 5-3 which made the match surreal.
