In this handout photograph released by French Tennis Federation (FFT) on June 9, 2025, Spain's Carlos Alcaraz poses with the trophy in the locker room, after victory in the men's singles final match against Italy's Jannik Sinner on day 15 of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland-Garros Complex in Paris on June 8, 2025. After producing one of the greatest Grand Slam finals of all time, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner served an explicit reminder they are the two main forces set to reign in men's tennis for years to come. In the first French Open final in more than three decades between two players aged 23 or under, Alcaraz and Sinner delivered undoubtedly the most electrifying chapter in an increasingly captivating rivalry. It was the first time the pair had met in a Grand Slam final and it didn't disappoint, with twists and turns, high drama and outrageous shot-making from start to finish.
