That's all from us after a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks of action at the French Open.

Coco Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka to claim the women's singles title on Saturday and in a men's final for the ages, Carlos Alcaraz came from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner.

Although we didn't get any British success in the singles, there was something to celebrate in the men's wheelchair doubles with Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid clinching a sixth successive title at the French Open.

And if today's final has whet your appetite then do not fear... the grass-court swing is under way and Wimbledon is just around the corner.

Only Carlos Alcaraz knows how he pulled that off.

How sweet that winning moment felt.

Fair play.

I do wonder how many of 1,502 that voted for Carlos Alcaraz to win were still as confident when he had to stave off three Championship points in the fourth set.

Carlos Alcaraz is the fourth player this century to win a men’s singles Grand Slam title for four consecutive years - 2022-2025 - after the 'Big Three' (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic).

Jannik Sinner has been absolutely brilliant since his return.

He was one point away from winning this title but Carlos Alcaraz held his nerve on those match points. Sinner will be really regretting that second serve backhand on 15-40 at 5-3 up. He usually makes that shot every time.

This rivalry is just going to go on and on. Sinner is better on the hard courts than Alcaraz at the moment, but Alcaraz leads on the clay and on grass.

This rivalry will push both players to try to win all four majors and try to reach double digits for Grand Slam titles.

Only Bjorn Borg (six) has won more men’s singles Grand Slam titles than Carlos Alcaraz (five - level with Rod Laver and John McEnroe) after his first 17 appearances in such events in the Open Era.

It was reported that the Spain players watched Carlos Alcaraz's fightback before beginning their Nations League final against Portugal.

It was a final that transcended tennis, that's for sure. A certified all-timer, and what a joy to witness it.

It's approaching half-time in that game with the score 1-1. I wonder if they know that Alcaraz completed the job yet?

More from two-time champion French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz: "I want to say thank you for everything to my team and my family. I have the privilege to live great things with you. I was lucky to have a lot of people who came from Murcia from home to support me. Amazing support you have given me today and the whole two weeks. This trophy is yours as well.

"Everyone who makes possible this event, this tournament for me is really special, I can't wait to come here every year. Special thank you to Amelie [Mauresmo, tournament director]. The work you are doing is amazing and it is not easy to deal with us so thank you and congratulations.

"Then Paris, guys, you have been an important support for me since the first round. You were insane for me, I can't thank you enough for the great support. You were really important, you will always be in my heart so thank you Paris and see you next year."

Carlos Alcaraz is the third player in the Open era to win a men’s singles Grand Slam final after saving match points, following Gaston Gaudio (Roland Garros 2004) and Novak Djokovic (Wimbledon 2019).

He becomes the first man to win each of his first five Grand Slam singles finals in the Open era.

Two-time champion French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz, speaking on-court after lifting the Coupe des Mousquetaires: "Hi everyone. I want to start with Jannik. It is amazing the level you have, congratulations for an amazing tournament to you and your team.

"I know the hard work you put in. I know how hard you are chasing every tournament. I am sure you will be champion many, many times and it is a privilege to share the court with you and making history with you.

"I'm just really happy to be able to make history with you in this tournament, in other tournaments, you are a huge inspiration for everyone and myself. Good luck and all the best for what is coming."

More from world number one Jannik Sinner: "Thank you so much to the organisers of everything for making this tournament such a special event. You make us feel at home and you make life easier for all of us, so thank you so much.

"Obviously the support has been amazing throughout the whole couple of weeks. You are amazing, so thank you again.

"I will see you guys again next year. Thank you."

You could excuse Jannik Sinner, who has had to watch his rival lift the title and then fake a smile as they pose for photos, if he raced off the court as quickly as possible.

But he's very graciously sticking around to sign autographs.

World number one Jannik Sinner speaking on court after missing out on the French Open title: "First of all, congratulations Carlos [Alcaraz]. It was an amazing performance from you again. It was an amazing battle. Congratulations to you and your team, you did an amazing job. I'm very happy for you. You deserve it so congratulations.

"It is easier to play than to talk right now. Thank you so much to my team for helping me put myself in this position. We tried our best today. We gave everything we had. Some time ago, we would have loved to be here so it's still been an amazing tournament.

"Even though it is very difficult right now, it is okay. It is a big privilege for me to be here and to play here. For me, Paris is a really special place. I have achieved many great things here. I'm still happy with this one. It is an amazing trophy.

"I won't sleep very well tonight but it is okay."

Time for Carlos Alcaraz to have his say.

He begins with a message to Jannik Sinner - the man who stood across the next from him for five hours and 29 minutes today.

"I'm delighted to be able to make history with you," Alcaraz says.

"You're a great inspiration."

A huge grin across the face of Carlos Alcaraz as he raises the trophy into the air.

Seeing a Spanish player lift that piece of silverware on Philippe Chatrier feels very familiar.

Jannik Sinner has just collected his runners-up plate and says he "won't sleep very well tonight".

He'll probably be having nightmares about passing up three Championship points in the fourth set.

I just feel so lucky that I got to be here to witness this final.

It feels like this is absolutely going to be a historic moment of our sport.

There are so many professional athletes in the stands today that are just in awe of these two guys. The physicality and the mentality just encompasses everything tennis is about.

I don't think there has ever been a better showcase for our sport.
