(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong><em>World number two tennis player Carlos Alcaraz has won Roland Garros. In the French Open final, the Spaniard defeated Jannik Sinner 3:2 after a great comeback.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set scores were 4:6, 6:7(4), 6:4, 7:6(3), 7:6(10:2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the second-longest match in Grand Slam final history, and at 5 hours and 29 minutes, the longest at Roland Garros. The longest was played by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in Melbourne in 2012, when the match lasted 5 hours and 53 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Alcaraz&#8217;s fifth Grand Slam trophy, and his second at Roland Garros. He has won one US Open and two Wimbledons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sinner, upon returning to the court after a break due to doping, simply strolled to the final in Paris, while Alcaraz struggled more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first set brought a lot of excitement. Alcaraz missed break opportunities at the start, but was still the first to get his name in that category after breaking his rival&#8217;s serve in the fifth game. However, his joy did not last long as Sinner immediately broke back for 3:3. However, towards the end, Alcaraz requested medical assistance due to an eye problem. At 5:4 for Sinner, he played somewhat worse, which the Italian used to take a 1:0 lead in sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding the momentum of the first set, the Italian took a 3:0 lead. Sinner maintained the distance until 5:2 and it seemed he was one step away from winning the second set. However, Alcaraz came back into the set almost out of nowhere and leveled it at 5:5. The players entered a tie-break, and Sinner started it better, taking a 5:2 lead. It turned out to be enough to close out the set and take a 2:0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the start of the third set, we saw two breaks for 1:1, and soon after, Alcaraz took another break for 3:1. The Spaniard served at 5:3 for the set, but it simply wasn&#8217;t meant to be concluded calmly. Sinner broke him for 4:5 and served for a complete comeback. However, Alcaraz responded with a perfect game in which he didn&#8217;t lose a single point on Sinner&#8217;s serve. This was enough for Alcaraz to reduce the set deficit to 1:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up to 3:3 in the fourth set, everything went smoothly. And then a storm. Sinner broke with a bagel in the seventh game, and then confirmed it for 5:3. The craziest game of the match followed. Sinner reached 0:40, or three consecutive match points. But Alcaraz saved every one and extended the final. And then he made sure to extend it even further by breaking for 5:5. The players entered a tie-break in which Sinner took a 2:0 lead, and Alcaraz turned it around to 4:2. The Spaniard managed to maintain the distance and thus won the set that brought the match into a fifth set \u2013 2:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already in the first game of the fifth set, Alcaraz broke, and then confirmed it for 2:0. The players then held their service games, so Alcaraz served for the match at 5:4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he failed. Sinner earned two consecutive break points, and this time he used the second one for 5:5 and an extension of the match. The Italian with great difficulty won the next game on his serve for 6:5, and then Alcaraz for 6:6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then the Spaniard&#8217;s hurricane began in the super tie-break. He took a 3:0 lead, then 6:0, and immediately 7:0. Then Sinner won two consecutive points, but Alcaraz stopped that for 8:2. The Spaniard also won the next two points, thus ending the epic final, the first between these two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, this was the first time in history that a Grand Slam final was played by two players born after 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/blockade-broken-faculty-of-medicine-in-nis-starts-working-regularly-students-say-they-continue-the-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BLOCKADE BROKEN: Faculty of Medicine in Ni\u0161 starts working regularly, students say they continue the fight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/mother-and-child-died-family-from-serbia-drove-into-a-ravine-near-niksic-father-is-fighting-for-his-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MOTHER AND CHILD DIED: Family from Serbia drove into a ravine near Nik\u0161i\u0107, father is fighting for his life!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/spy-games-in-belgrade-chinese-man-arrested-in-hyatt-and-behind-it-all-is-a-cinematic-story-about-the-conflict-between-america-and-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SPY GAMES IN BELGRADE: Chinese man arrested in Hyatt, and behind it all is a cinematic story about the conflict between America and China!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/today-we-celebrate-pentecost-the-biggest-holiday-after-christmas-and-easter-litanies-will-be-held-throughout-serbia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TODAY WE CELEBRATE PENTECOST: The biggest holiday after Christmas and Easter, litanies will be held throughout Serbia!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Source<\/strong>: <\/strong>Kurir Sport  <strong>Photo:<\/strong> IPA \/ Alamy \/ Profimedia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World number two tennis player Carlos Alcaraz has won Roland Garros.
