Carlos Alcaraz opened up about his French Open victory

After winning the exceptional five-hour-and-29-minute clash against Sinner in the French Open final, Carlos Alcaraz made his feelings known about his victory in the post-match interview. He said that he believed in himself all the time and revealed that he just kept on trying to save the game. He said, as quoted by the Guardian:

"I just wanted to be one of those players who saved match point in the grand slam final and ended up winning. I just believe all the time. I have never doubted myself. Even though in those match points down, I thought just one point at a time. Just one point and then after one point and then try to save that game and keep believing. That’s what I thought," said Carlos Alcaraz.

Along with this, Alcaraz also commended his opponent for his skills on the court, saying:

"Being Jannik on the other side of the net playing at such a great level, sometimes I thought: ‘What can I do? What can I do?’ He was moving unbelievable. He was hitting amazing shots. There were a few moments of the match that he couldn’t miss any ball. I mean, that level, it was really, really high.”

Carlos Alcaraz has won a total of four titles in the 2025 season so far, including the ATP Rotterdam, Monte-Carlo Masters, Italian Open, and the French Open.
