Carlos Alcaraz outlasted German Alexander Zverev to win a maiden French Open and become the youngest man to capture Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces with a 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 victory in a nail-biting final on Sunday.

While the 21-year-old has won all of his three major finals, Sunday’s defeat prolonged Zverev’s frustration at Grand Slams, with the German still chasing a first title despite reaching the last four eight times.

Rafael Nadal, Iga Swiatek, Rod Laver and many other athletes congratulated Alcaraz for his victory. 

Here are some of the social media reactions:
