At his current meteoric trajectory, the precocious Carlos Alcaraz eventually becoming the GOAT of men's tennis becomes more and more realistic with every new Grand Slam singles title victory. In fact,

Alcaraz won his fifth major in just as many finals appearances, 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2). The match took five hours, 29 minutes, making it the longest French Open final in history, and the second longest major final of all time ( Novak Djokovic and Nadal went 5 hours, 53 minutes, at the 2012 Australian Open).

Carlos Alcaraz dropped an initial two sets and faced triple championship point, but excavated energy to outlast Jannik Sinner in a record 5-hour, 29-minute French Open finale Sunday in Paris.
