The match marked the first time a men's final at Roland Garros didn't include at least one of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer since 2004.
Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest male tennis player to claim a major title on all three surfaces after beating Alexander Zverev in five sets at the French Open final on Sunday.Alcaraz won the first set 6-3 and Zverev took the second 6-2 to level the match. In the third set, Zverev edged out a 7-5 win before Alcaraz forced a fifth set with a dominant 6-1 win in the fourth set. He defeated Zverev 6-2 in the final decisive set.

Alcaraz's level dipped during that stretch and he seemed distracted by a complaint over the condition of the clay at Court Philippe Chatrier, telling chair umpire Renaud Lichtenstein it was 'unbelievable.
