After five hours and 32 minutes of grueling tennis, Carlos Alcaraz finally emerged victorious against Jannik Sinner on Sunday, having rallied from a two-sets-to-love deficit to win 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2).
Alcaraz fell to the ground in jubilation as he successfully defended his Roland Garros title — and put an end to one of the greatest finals in Paris ever.
Or was it, the best Grand Slam championship match of all time?
Either way, there was no shortage of superlatives on social media as figures from the sports world and beyond heaped praise on both finalists for their performance.
