The match set a record as the longest French Open final and became the second-longest Grand Slam men's singles final in the Open Era,

It took 5 1/2 hours, but on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open for the second straight year. Alcaraz bested Jannik Sinner in a grueling, thrilling match after a stunning comeback, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2).
