ANKARA – Carlos Alcaraz secured the 2024 French Open men’s singles title on Sunday (10 June 2024) by defeating Alexander Zverev 3-2.
The 21-year-old, ranked third in the world, captured his first Roland Garros title by overcoming the fourth-ranked Zverev with scores of 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, and 6-2 on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
The intense five-set match extended over four hours and 19 minutes.
Alcaraz’s victory marks a historic achievement, making him the youngest player ever to win major titles on hard courts (US Open 2022), grass courts (Wimbledon 2023), and clay courts (French Open 2024).
“Winning each Grand Slam for the first time is incredibly special,” Alcaraz remarked.
