After defeating Alexander Zverev in five sets to win his first French Open, Carlos Alcaraz broke down in tears. After his injury recovery, many people questioned the Spaniard’s technique, as he left his mark on French history and completely outclassed them.
The Spaniard faced a tough challenge from Zverev in the finals after enduring a difficult draw. Alcaraz was not only having physical difficulties during the match, but his tennis was also subpar. Alcaraz, who was recovering from a forearm injury, was not in peak shape yet.
He still performed brilliantly at the French Open, fully challenging Zverev. Alcaraz, who had led 5-2 in the third set before losing it, found the match to be very difficult. He lost a commanding lead but recovered well in the fourth set to force a decider, which he won.
The 21-year-old hugged his parents and rushed to his player box after making the game-winning shot. Alcaraz gave his parents a heartfelt hug since they had supported him unconditionally throughout his life, from his early years as a kid to his success as a champion.
