Yardbarker on MSN'You deserve it': Jannik Sinner lauds Carlos Alcaraz after agonizing Roland Garros finalJannik Sinner had to overcome frustration after a tough defeat in the Roland Garros final against Carlos Alcaraz. The world No. 1 squandered three match points in the fourth set, allowing 'Carlitos' to mount a remarkable comeback and defend the title he won in 2024.
The Italian is enjoying his 53rd week on the ATP throne, becoming the fifth competitor to achieve that during the inaugural stint as the world's best player. Jannik matched Novak Djokovic and will pass the legendary Serb the next Monday.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will meet in a Grand Slam final for the first time in their careers at the French Open final, with the winner earning nearly $2.9 million in prize money. Sinner has won 20 consecutive Grand Slam matches, while Alcaraz is the defending champion at Roland-Garros.
Sinner, the men's world No. 1, has obliterated the field at Roland Garros. But he isn't really playing clay-court tennis.
