After Carlos Alcaraz’s victory at the French Open, which gave him his third Grand Slam victory, Stefanos Tsitsipas sent the Spanish player an elegant message. After nearly losing to Alexander Zverev in five sets, Alcaraz rallied to beat Roland Garros for the first time.
When they faced off in the quarterfinals of the French Open, Alcaraz prevailed over Tsitsipas in straight sets. Alcaraz had defeated his Greek opponent, who occasionally lost concentration and yelled angrily at his box, for the second year in a row.
Tsitsipas, however, was able to move over his disappointment at losing and congratulate Alcaraz on social media after defeating Zverev in the final match for the title.
Tsitsipas wrote: “Congratulations on winning Roland Garros. It was your dream and you achieved it.”
Alcaraz, the youngest player to win a Grand Slam on every surface, became the sixth Spaniard to win the men’s singles title at the French Open on Sunday.
