No. 1 Jannik Sinner has not yet dropped a set in his bid to win the French Open for the first time. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, his opponent in Sunday’s final, has dropped four sets along the way.

Alcaraz and Sinner's first meeting in a Grand Slam final extends the self-perpetuating excellence that is lifting them above everybody else.

Novak Djokovic, who owns a record 24 Grand Slam men’s singles titles, couldn’t counter Jannik Sinner’s relentless accuracy and pounding forehands on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
