Jannik Sinner not only fell just one step, specifically one point, short of winning his first Roland Garros, but he also came very close to achieving a milestone that had never been done before, but at least he can take comfort in having equalled a legend like Pete Sampras. The thing is, when the Italian secured the second set of the final, he linked 11 consecutive sets in Grand Slam finals (Australian Open 2023 (3), 2024 (3), and US Open 2024 (3), Roland Garros 2025 (2)). Alcaraz broke this streak by taking the third set and then the fourth and fifth, but Sinner tied in this statistic with Sampras, who also amassed 11 consecutive sets (Wimbledon 1993 (1), US Open 1993 (3), Australian Open 1993 (3), Wimbledon 1994 (3), and Australian Open 1995 (1)).
