The 17-year-old German tennis player clinched the title in his third professional tournament after eliminating the number one seed, Andrés Santamarta, and three more seeded players.
Daniil Medvedev is one of those tennis players who are accustomed to saying everything they think, regardless of the consequences. And after the success of Alcaraz and his dominance on the circuit with Sinner just after the Big-3 era, he has left his generation of the 90s (where the Russian, Zverev, Tsitsipas...) in a difficult position. However, the Moscow native has confidence in his peers: "We are not as good as Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, or Murray, and not yet as good as Sinner and Alcaraz. But I am sure that our generation will win more Grand Slam titles," confessed the world number 11.

We analyze the points that both the Spanish player and Sinner have to defend during the summer and at what moment the player from Murcia could regain the number one spot in the world, provided that the circumstances are favorable.
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)).

If a Carlos Alcaraz match goes to a fifth set, it's synonymous with victory for the Murcian, or almost always. The Spaniard has a far superior effectiveness when matches reach the fifth set compared to the Big 3 and Jannik Sinner. The El Palmar native boasts a record of 13-1, in other words, a 92.9% win rate. A significantly higher average than the rest. Novak Djokovic has 37 wins and 10 losses (78.7%), Rafael Nadal has 23 wins, 12 losses (65.7%), Roger Federer has 31 wins and 17 losses (64.6%). And lastly, Sinner, who has a very poor percentage when the match goes to the fifth set: 6 wins and 10 losses (37.5%).

The former tennis player and Swedish commentator was overwhelmed after the Roland Garros final and stated that the Spanish and Italian players "have taken our sport to another level."
Roland Garros is synonymous with Spanish success. The Grand Slam of our neighbors, historic rivals, is a tournament where Spanish players feel wonderfully. With the historic record of Rafael Nadal, winning fourteen times, not even the two consecutive titles of Carlos Alcaraz are enough. Before these two beasts were Sergi Bruguera, Carlos Moya, Albert Costa, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Manolo Santana, Andrés Gimeno, and not forgetting Garbiñe Muguruza and Arantxa Sánchez Vicario. And this data confirms it all: of the last 33 editions of Roland Garros, 21 of them have been won by a Spanish player.

If a match of Carlos Alcaraz goes beyond three and a half hours, it's very likely that the Spaniard will come out on top. This is confirmed by the data. The Spanish tennis player, who clinched his second Roland Garros in the longest final in the tournament's history, is a sure bet when the match ventures into the territory of endurance, fatigue, and epic battles. In the 14 longest matches of his career, there is only one defeat, against Matteo Berrettini in the 2022 Australian Open's round of 16, after 4 hours and 10 minutes. The other thirteen are victories.
