However, despite Alcaraz’s triumph, it’s Sinner who made a leap in the ATP rankings. The Italian extended his lead at the top, earning 500 additional points for his runner-up finish. Alcaraz, while defending his 2,000 points from last year, missed the chance to narrow the gap further on Sinner, who remains the World No.1.

Wimbledon is the next stop on this year's Grand Slam schedule, and a finals rematch between Alcaraz and Sinner could be on the cards. Alcaraz is the two-time reigning champion at the All England Club, while Sinner is a 2023 semifinals with quarterfinal trips in 2022 and 2024.

Carlos Alcaraz mounted an extraordinary comeback to win the men’s final at Roland Garros on Sunday, defeating world No. 1 Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2).
