Carlos Alcaraz celebrated his maiden French Open triumph alongside his family, coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, and the rest of his team. The Spaniard triumphed over Alexander Zverev in a roller coaster 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 in four hours and 19 minutes to clinch his third Grand Slam title.
During the trophy presentation, Carlos Alcaraz thanked his team for their immense support. He expressed how grateful he was for his team and claimed they were also his family.
"I mean, I'm really grateful to have the team that I have, the people that I have around. I know that everyone in my team is giving their heart just to make me improve as a player, as a person, to grow up. So I'm really grateful. And I'm calling you a team, but it's a family, so thank you very much."
Alcaraz later thanked his family for everything they had done for him and said that winning the Roland Garros was a childhood dream of his and winning it in front of them was special.
"So all the support that you've given me is amazing. Since I was a little kid, as I said many, many times, running... when I finished school [I ran home] just to put the TV on, just to watch this tournament on the TV. And now I'm lifting the trophy in front of all of you, so thank you very much for everything and this journey," he said.
