Carlos Alcaraz battled from the brink of a first Grand Slam final loss to outlast Jannik Sinner in a French Open title clash for the ages on Sunday and keep his crown, cementing his status as the Prince of Clay in Roland Garros' post-Rafa Nadal era.

The first Grand Slam final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner not only exceeded expectations, it sets an entirely new narrative for the sport.
