How long did the 2025 French Open men's singles final last?

How long did the 2025 French Open men’s singles final last? The answer is 5 hours 29 minutes.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in a five-set epic on 8 June 2025, winning 4–6, 6–7, 6–4, 7–6, 7–6. The match lasted five hours and 29 minutes, making it the longest men’s singles final in French Open history and the longest final ever played at Roland-Garros in the Open Era.

The duration reflected a dramatic comeback. Sinner took the first two sets, but Alcaraz recovered, saved three championship points in the fourth set, and won both the fourth- and fifth-set tiebreaks. The deciding tiebreak ended 10–2 in Alcaraz’s favour.

A common mix-up is with the 2012 Australian Open final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, which lasted 5 hours 53 minutes and remains the longer Grand Slam men’s singles final overall. Another comparison is the 1982 French Open final, which lasted 4 hours 47 minutes before Alcaraz and Sinner surpassed it.
