Carlos Alcaraz, exhibiting preternatural resilience, surmounted a herculean deficit of two sets and three match points to vanquish top seed Jannik Sinner in a pyrrhic victory at the French Open final, thereby augmenting his Grand Slam haul to five from as many finals and securing a consecutive title at Roland Garros; this triumph inscribes Alcaraz's name into the annals of tennis history as only the ninth player in the Open Era to achieve such a Lazarus-like resurrection in a major final, simultaneously furnishing the nascent prodigy, at a mere 22 years of age, with his twentieth career accolade, whilst the protracted five-hour and twenty-nine-minute duel, the longest in the Open Era of the French Open, witnessed a commendable display of magnanimity from the vanquished Sinner, epitomised by his concessional gesture during the pivotal eleventh game, all under the watchful gaze of a constellation of luminaries, including Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Spike Lee, Pharrell Williams, George Russell, and Antoine Dupont.
