Best of three
China DailySpain's Carlos Alcaraz celebrates winning the French Open final against Germany's Alexander Zverev on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros in Paris on Sunday. AFP As Carlos Alcaraz began constructing his comeback against Alexander Zverev in Sunday's French Open final, there arrived the sort of magical shot the Spaniard is making a regular part of his varied repertoire. Indeed, this was the first men's title match at Roland Garros since 2004 without at least one of the "Big Three" — Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer. Just like he did against Sinner in the semifinal, Alcaraz overturned a deficit of two sets to one against Zverev, making him the first man to capture the French Open by doing that in each of the last two matches since Manolo Santana — also from Spain — in 1961.
