Carlos Alcaraz clinched the French Open men's title after an epic comeback victory over Jannik Sinner.

The second-seeded Spaniard saved three match points as he beat world number one Sinner 4-6 6-7(4) 6-4 7-6(3) 7-6(10-2) to win back-to-back titles at Roland Garros.

In a scintillating showdown between the torch-bearers of a new generation, the 22-year-old Alcaraz saved three match points in the fourth set to continue his dominance over Sinner with a fifth successive win and end the Italian's 20-match winning streak at the majors.

The duo, who have captured seven of the last eight Grand Slams to stamp their authority on the tour, were locked in a fierce battle in the first major final between two men born in the 2000s.

Alcaraz showed his steely determination to win the epic in five hours and 29 minutes - the longest ever final at Roland Garros, to clinch his fifth Grand Slam title.
