Jannik Sinner had three consecutive match points in the fourth set of the French Open final before Carlos Alcaraz prevailed in a five-hour, twenty-nine-minute thriller, widely regarded as one of the greatest major finals ever.

In June, Sinner and Alcaraz delivered one of the most enthralling Grand Slam finals in tennis history after the Spaniard came back from two sets down - saved three consecutive championship points in the fourth set while 3-5 down - before completing an unbelievable 4-6 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (3) 7-6 (2) comeback in five hours and 29 minutes.
