It just wasn't meant to be for Jannik Sinner, who lost his first Grand Slam final in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday.
In the French Open final against Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner found himself up two sets and had his first match point roughly four hours in. But the match would go on for another hour and a half—the longest in French Open final history—and end in exhaustion and devastation for Sinner. Alcaraz was able to mount an incredible comeback and saved three match points to beat Sinner in a five-set marathon thriller that will likely haunt the Italian for the rest of his days.
