Carlos Alcaraz showed his class midway through Sunday’s French Open final by conceding a point to opponent Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz was aiming to become the first men’s player since Rafael Nadal in 2020 to defend the singles title, having beaten Alexander Zverev in last year’s showpiece.
It got off to a shaky start, with world No.1 Sinner taking the first set 6-4, with Alcaraz looking skittish at times. The Sinner dominance continued into the second set, with the Italian establishing an unlikely 4-1 lead against the reigning French Open champion.
