Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday, coming back from behind in the four hour and 19 minute match in Paris to win his first French Open title, and his third Grand Slam title. Alcaraz is now 3-0 in Grand Slam finals.
The 21-year-old Alcaraz became the youngest man to claim Grand Slam singles titles on all three tennis surfaces -- clay, grass and hard court, earning $2.6 million for the win.
Alcaraz said at the trophy presentation at Roland Garros: "The last month we were struggling a lot with an [arm] injury and coming back. I didn't feel well in Madrid. We had a lot of doubts coming here without practicing too much. I'm really grateful to have the team that I have. I know everyone in my team is giving their heart just to make me grow up as a player and a person."
