Delhi: In the final of the French Open 2025, Carlos Alkraj not only won a historic victory, but also an interestingly played comparison. When Alkraj was showing his dominance on the court against the Janik Sinner of Italy, the commentators compared him to Virat Kohli, the great cricketer of India.

Kohli’s confidence seen in the game of Alkraj

Seeing the game of Alkraj, the commentators saw a glimpse of Kohli. His technique, mental strength and the ability to perform under pressure looked exactly like Virat Kohli. Just as Kohli molds himself in every format and situation, similarly Alkraj also appeared to be expert in molding his game according to every court and player.

After losing two sets done amazing

Initially it seemed that Alkraj was moving towards defeat. He lost the first two sets. But after this he refused to give up. He saved 3 championship points and returned to the match. The last score was: 4-6, 6-7 (4/7), 6-4, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (10/2).

The match lasted for 5 hours 29 minutes and became the longest male single final in the history of the French Open.

The process of victory is broken

With this victory, Alkraj won his fifth Grand Slam title. He also broke the streak of Janik Sinner’s 20 -match Grand Slam win. Not only this, for the first time he won after trailing from two sets in a major final. Earlier, the final of 1982 was the longest, but now that record is broken.

History created at the age of 22

At the age of just 22, Alkraj has won the five Grand Slam finals, in which he participated. He has now become the third player to win 5 Major titles at the youngest after Byorn Borg and Rafael Nadal.
On the other hand, Sinner’s dream of winning the third consecutive Grand Slam title was broken. He had won the 2024 US Open and two Australian Open.
