Jannik Sinner, who suffered the same punishment and from whom he snatched the prize. There was only one for one. There is no consolation at this point and with these winners.
Alcaraz He staged an epic comeback, as he emerged victorious from the drama that resulted in a painful first semi-final. The Spaniard, 21 years old and No. 3, cannot compete against Djokovic in 2023, he paid for the hazing before the best expression of a faithful representative of the ‘Big 3’.

The Italian made no secret of the cramps, having to seek medical attention first for his right arm and then for both thighs midway through the third set. The Spaniard wore an ice collar during the break.
Nervous about the importance of the meeting, the generational conflict. Typical of a Classic. Moments of stuck play, moments of genius and lots of heart. Be competitive at every turn, even when unwittingly held back by too much responsibility. So much so that the public chanted the ‘Charles, Charles’ As the ‘Jannik, Jannik’, to save what he saw in the most delicate situation at that moment.
A roller coaster of emotions over the top. He knows how to stay on his feet longer Carlos Alcaraz, stubborn against adversity and with more energy to finish in the fifth set. His record says he has won 10 out of 11 fights after five rounds, while sinful feeding his negative record: 6-8.
A mixture of faith and strength.

He had a terrible time on the clay court tour due to a muscle injury in his right forearm. Another incentive to improve yourself at Roland Garros, where you will find yourself closer to your goal. “We came to be champions”, he expected. He has done it. His eighteenth professional final, he wants a fourteenth title, third ‘big’.
There was an epic, Carlos Alcaraz. And tragedy, this time starring Jannik Sinner. It’s all or nothing. The Spaniard dominates his series 4-3. More to come. As uncertain as they are exciting. “As I have spoken many times to my team, you have to enjoy the suffering,” the Murcian told the audience at headquarters.
