Carlos Alcaraz's final 10 minutes to close out the championship is some of the highest level of tennis we've ever seen.
I'll say it one more time for those in the back:
HE IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD WHEN HE WANTS TO BE
And the only one stopping him is... himself.
Still trying to process what just happened.
Was it the greatest Roland-Garros men’s final ever? Yes.
Was it a top 5 Grand Slam men’s final ever? Maybe.
Can Alcaraz-Sinner develop into of the greatest men’s rivalries of all time? Probably.
Is tennis the best sport? Definitely.
Carlos Alcaraz becomes the youngest man in history to win a Grand Slam title on all 3 surfaces.
21 years old.
What he’s done already in his young career is not normal.
And he’s not anywhere close to finished.
🇪🇸
MAKE THAT A THIRD 🏆🏆🏆
Alcaraz claims his third Grand Slam title, making him the youngest ever player to win a Slam on all three surfaces 💫

Carlos Alcaraz & Gael Monfils play one of the points of the tournament.
Incredible movement from both.
Ridiculous athleticism from both.
This is what you get when you put the 2 best showmen in tennis on the same court.
Are you not entertained? 🪄
So happy to win the 🏆 in Indian Wells, but above all with my level this week against the best in the world! It means so much to me! 🤩 Your support has been vital, once again! VAMOS! 🧠❤️🥚🥚

Novak Djokovic after beating Carlos Alcaraz in Cincinnati:
“Crazy. Honestly I don’t know what else I can say. Tough to describe. Definitely 1 of the toughest matches I’ve played in my life, regardless what tournament, category, level, or what player. It’s unbelievable. From beginning til the end, we both went through so much. Ups & downs. Highs & lows. Incredible points. Poor games. Heat strokes. Coming back. Overall, 1 of the toughest & most exciting matches I’ve ever been a part of. These are kind of moments & matches I continue to work for day in & day out. I was never in doubt I could deliver the A game when it mattered most. I’m just thrilled” ❤️
wow. what a week it has been! I won my biggest title to date two weeks ago and you know I had to double itttt😝 (tik tok joke) In all seriousness, I am so thankful for all the support cincy has given me this week. Thank you God for covering me. #WTA1000
Tomorrow for my morning sports bulletin I have to toss a coin to decide which sports story featuring two incredible women’s teams gets the lead. I used to pray for days like this 😭
