Carlos Alcaraz reflected on his extraordinary French Open triumph over world number one Jannik Sinner with a sense of disbelief, calling it unbelievable as the Spaniard gears up for his bid to secure a third Wimbledon title.
The 22-year-old staged an incredible comeback from two sets down, saving three consecutive match points to achieve an unlikely 4-6 6-7(4) 6-4 7-6(3) 7-6(10-2) victory over the Italian, captivating the Paris crowd.
“(There are) a lot of videos from that match, from that moment, match point down and I still watch it sometimes, and I still don’t believe that I come back from that moment,” Alcaraz told reporters on Sunday.

“So sometimes it’s difficult to realise that I’m in this position, that I won the French Open, watching the videos from 40-love, in that moment. So I’m still watching those videos.”
The five-time Grand Slam champion took a short trip to Ibiza to recharge but is now focused on his campaign at Queen’s Club, where he will face fellow Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in his opening match on Tuesday.
Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the season, runs from June 30 to July 13.
