Alcaraz joins this list of players to rally from two sets down in a Grand Slam final...

Carlos Alcaraz became just the ninth player to rally from two sets down and win a Grand Slam final in the Open Era when he came back to stun Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(10-2) for the Roland Garros trophy on Sunday.

Alcaraz entered the championship clash without a two-set comeback on his resume. Now he has a very important one and is 13-1 in five-setters, including 4-0 at Roland Garros, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.

The 22-year-old is the fifth player to rally from two sets down in the Roland Garros final and the first since Gaston Gaudio surged past Guillermo Coria in 2004. This was the first final-set tie-break at the tournament in history.

Two-Set Comebacks In Grand Slam Finals

From the start of the Open Era in 1968 until Gaudio defeated Coria, only four men rallied from two sets down in a major final. Each of those occasions was in the Roland Garros championship match.

Since the 2020 US Open, in which Dominic Thiem shocked Alexander Zverev, there have now been five two-set comebacks in Grand Slam finals. This was the first one to happen at Roland Garros during that stretch.

In last year's Australian Open final, Sinner earned a two-set comeback of his own against Daniil Medvedev. However, this time he fell on the wrong side of the result.
