Carlos Alcaraz battled from the brink to edge Jannik Sinner in an epic final to claim his second successive French Open title on Sunday.

The 22 year old saved three match points in the fourth set to win 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 and continue his dominance over Sinner with his fifth straight victory and end the Italian's 20-match winning run at Grand Slams.

The Spaniard became only the second man since tennis turned professional in 1968 to win all of his first five Grand Slam singles finals after Swiss great Roger Federer.

The thrilling battle lasted five hours and 29 minutes -- the longest final at Roland Garros.

Alcaraz is the first man to save championship points and win a French Open final since Gaston Gaudio in 2004.
