World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz appeared primed to fail in his title defense on Sunday at Roland Garros against World No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
In fact, so much so that Alcaraz had to fight off three championship points to extend the match in the fourth set. Alcaraz, who lost the first two sets 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), won the third set 6-4 but looked like he was about to fall short.
