Carlos Alcaraz, a 21-year-old Spanish tennis player, captured the men's singles title at Roland-Garros 2024, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career.

Alcaraz, who already holds titles from both the US Open and Wimbledon, defeated Germany's Alexander Zverev in a tightly contested final with a scoreline of 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2. This victory allows Alcaraz to further his legacy in the world of tennis, succeeding his idol Rafael Nadal, who has dominated the French Open in the past.

Prior to the final, Alcaraz faced Italy's Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, winning in a decisive five-set match with scores of 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. This match, noted for its tension rather than spectacle, showcased Alcaraz's resilience and tactical skill.

Zverev, currently ranked fourth in the world, advanced to the final by overcoming Norway's Casper Ruud, who has been a two-time finalist at Roland-Garros but was reportedly under the weather during their semifinal match.

Zverev won that encounter with a score of 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, earning his place in the championship match against Alcaraz.

The men's final of Roland-Garros 2024 took place on June 9, 2024, as part of the prestigious Grand Slam tournament held annually in Paris from May 19 to June 8. The event remains one of the highlights of the international tennis calendar, attracting top talent and a global audience.
