Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev in the French Open final at Roland Garros 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday.
But in the second set, Zverev’s impressive durability really kicked in, and he completely flipped things, taking 14 of 20 points that were five-to-eight-shot rallies.
Zverev was even able to ride the momentum of the second set into the third, in which, despite the fluctuating scoreline, he was much the better player.
Alexander Zverev’s serve has been superb all tournament, but it faltered when he needed it most.
He did it again in the final game at 15-15.
