Djokovic produced the Grand Slam peak that has been the trademark of his late career, but Sinner was a mountain too high to climb.

Novak Djokovic was in no doubt when choosing who is better out of French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz and world number one Jannik Sinner. On Sunday (June 8 ), Alcaraz, 22, and Sinner, 23, played out a gruelling five-hour and 29-minute-long French Open final which saw the Spaniard come out on top at Roland-Garros.

The 2025 French Open may go down as the official starting point for a new era of men's tennis. It will be the first meeting in a grand slam final between the sport's two ascendent stars: Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
