Alcaraz, Gaudio, and Djokovic: Only tennis players to save match points in a Grand Slam final
What Carlos Alcaraz did in the Roland Garros final has rarely happened in the history of tennis. The Spaniard saved three championship points in the fourth set, something that has only occurred on two other occasions in Grand Slam finals. The first was Gaston Gaudio, who saved one match point against Guillermo Coria in the 2004 Roland Garros final. The second, Novak Djokovic, in the historic 2019 Wimbledon final, when he saved two match points against Roger Federer.
3 - Carlos Alcaraz is the third played in the Open Era to win a Men’s Singles Grand Slam final after having saved match points(s) after Gaston Gaudio (Roland Garros 2004) and Novak Djokovic (Wimbledon 2019). Heart.#RolandGarros | @rolandgarros @atptour pic.twitter.com/0SYnv7Ve69
