Paris | Carlos Alcaraz made a grand entrance into the tennis history books as he claimed his maiden French Open title to become the youngest man to capture Grand Slams on all three surfaces, with a see-saw five-set victory over German Alexander Zverev on Sunday (Monday AEST).

The 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 win may not have been a classic, but the Spaniard showed that he belonged among the elite as he added a third Grand Slam crown to his impressive trophy cabinet that already has the 2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon titles.
