Jannik Sinner will be the new world No 1 on Monday but will have to watch Sunday's final from the sofa
Jannik Sinner will be the new world No 1 on Monday but will have to watch Sunday's final from the sofaAlcaraz, 21, is now the youngest man in history to have reached a slam final on all surfaces, breaking Andre Agassi’s record by a full year.
“The toughest matches I have played in my short career have been against Jannik,” Alcaraz said afterwards. Alcaraz was once again chasing history. Victory would make him the youngest man ever to reach a grand slam final on all three surfaces, breaking Andre Agassi’s record by a full year. As so often happens in Paris, a large number of fans would have missed the succession of errors Alcaraz produced in the opening 20 minutes, a start that stunned those who had turned up for the start into near-silence.
Neither had any grand slams at that point: Alcaraz now has two and Sinner one, while the latter will also become world No 1 for the first time on Monday and is certainly a better player than he was in 2022. Whatever inspiration he needed, he seemed to find it, rattling off five games in a row and levelling the match after 91 minutes.
