A new era begins with Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Roland Garros 2025 title.

Only one man can beat Jannik Sinner in a Grand Slam final. Not Novak Djokovic. Not Daniil Medvedev. Only Carlos Alcaraz.

And as fate would have it, it was Alcaraz who continued to write the great history of world tennis with his fifth consecutive victory in a Grand Slam final - this time a spectacular comeback at Roland Garros 2025.

Before entering the historic confrontation on Philippe Chatrier Court, both Alcaraz and Sinner held perfect records in Grand Slam finals: one 4/4, the other 3/3. This was the first time the two young players - the most typical symbols of the generation born after 2000 - had met in the final match of a major tournament.

One of them will have to give up his unbeaten record. And after more than five hours of top-notch competition, the one still standing is Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner is a cold, ruthless machine with almost no weaknesses. But that very perfection becomes the perfect stage for instinctive and emotional talent like Alcaraz to shine.

The Spaniard played as if he could bend logic, turning the tide of a match with emotion, creativity and a never-say-die attitude. And when the match entered its most thrilling moments, the true champion's character spoke for itself.

Since 2024, Sinner has played in 11 ATP finals and lost only twice - both to Alcaraz. Now it's three. That's no longer a mere statistic, but proof of a fact: Alcaraz is Sinner's "nemesis", his number one opponent, the barrier that he has yet to overcome.

Jannik Sinner lost regrettably to Carlos Alcaraz in the final of Roland Garros 2025.

This confrontation is not only about the world number one position, but also a symbolic battle: who will represent the post-“Big Three” era? With Roger Federer retired, Rafael Nadal gradually retreating into the background, and Novak Djokovic on the other side of his career, the tennis world needs new leaders, faces who can create big matches, with professional depth and emotions commensurate with the Nadal - Federer or Djokovic - Murray battles of the past. And Alcaraz - Sinner is the most convincing answer.

Audiences were worried that the post-“Big Three” era would be a void of identity. But now, they can rest assured.

Because Sinner is the embodiment of precision, of the emotionless power that can suffocate any opponent. And Alcaraz, with his explosiveness and extraordinary instinct, is the perfect piece for a confrontation rich in drama and emotion - a battle full of artistry and symbolism that top tennis always needs.

With today's victory, Alcaraz not only maintained his winning streak in Grand Slam finals (5/5), but also affirmed his undeniable position at the top of the world. On the scoreboard, he entered the land of legends, becoming the third youngest tennis player in history to win 5 Grand Slams, after two great names: Bjorn Borg and Rafael Nadal.

More important than the title, however, is that Alcaraz has written the first chapter of a new era – one where he and Sinner will continue to challenge each other, raise the bar, and keep elite tennis as an emotional and epic sport .

Today, the winner is Alcaraz. But Sinner will be back. And the competition between these two extraordinary people has only just begun.
