Hindustan Times  

Third seed Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday became the youngest ever ATP player to clinch a Grand Slam title on each of the three surfaces as he beat Alexander Zverev in the 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 in the 2024 French Open men's singles final at the Stade Roland Garros.

The Spaniard did gain quick control to surge to a 5-2 lead in the third set, but Zverev once again found a hot streak to win five straight games, which left him a set away from a maiden Grand Slam title.
