After successfully defending his title at the 2025 French Open, Alcaraz was given the nickname "Prince of Clay", which has a sense of inheritance

Spanish superstar Alcaraz ended in the men's singles final of the 2025 French Open tennis tournament in the early morning of the 9th Beijing time, overcoming 3 championship points to defeat the Italian king Sinner to complete the streak of hegemony.

Athlon Sports' Angelo Guinhawa wrote that Nadal earned the nickname King of Clay for his dominance on clay, and now his successor seems to have appeared, which is also from Spain, Alcaraz, and the official post of the French Open paid tribute to the 22-year-old star with such a symbolic message: "Carlos II, Prince of Clay".

Alcaraz, who won the French Open for the first time last year, successfully defended his title today in an epic comeback show with Sinner in 5 hours and 29 minutes, and happened to win his fifth Grand Slam title at the age of 22 years, one month and three days, the same age as Rafael Nadal, who is also from Spain, when he won his fifth Wimbledon title in 2008.

In addition, Alcaraz has also become the second fastest player in history to win 20 French Open victories in 25 years, and the only one who is faster than him is the "King of Clay" Nadal. However, if Aicaraz is to really catch up with Nadal's achievements on clay, he will have to stay in top form for a long time, as Nadal has won 14 titles at the French Open in his career, amassing a terrifying record of 112 wins and 4 defeats.
