Tennis World on MSNAgassi hails Carlos Alcaraz: ‘Tennis UFO with the best of Rafa, Roger, Novak'Andre Agassi, the champion from 1999, witnessed tennis history firsthand at Roland Garros on Sunday. Carlos Alcaraz pulled off one of the greatest Major finals comebacks against Jannik Sinner.
Alcaraz’s annual Ibiza pilgrimage started back in 2023, when he suffered a heartbreaking French Open semi-final loss to Novak Djokovic and wanted to get away. After a quick boys’ trip, he returned and won Queen’s and Wimbledon back-to-back.
According to Spotrac, that figure will move Alcaraz past tennis legend Pete Sampras for seventh place on the ATP career earnings list. Sampras made $43.3 million during his incredible career, which included 14 Grand Slam singles titles.
Viewers from around the world were brought on the roller-coaster ride where Alcaraz fell down two sets to love and came back from three straight championship points in the fourth set to win on the 10-point tiebreak in the final set. The win marked Alcaraz's second French Open title and fifth major championship of his career.
