After a thrilling men's singles final, the 2025 French Open came to an end on Sunday. Alcaraz successfully defended his title by defeating Giannik Sinner in a legendary final.

After a big game, some people are happy and some are worried. And maybe a goodbye......

Happy winners

Carlos. Alcaraz:

Alcaraz pulled off a stunning comeback and victory to become one of only four men in the Open era to win five Grand Slams before the age of 23. The Spanish star's momentum is unlikely to slow down anytime soon. The final between him and Sinner was enough to go down in ATP history.

Alexander Bublik:

Kazakhstan's Bublik has reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time with two impressive victories over top-10 players, reigniting attention to his talent.

He beat ninth seed De Minaur 2-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in five sets in the second round. In the fourth round, they eliminated fifth seed Draper 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Despite losing to Sinner in the quarter-finals, he left Roland Garros contentedly. I look forward to him continuing to do so in the future.

Francis Tiafoe & Tommy Paul:

Both have their best results at the French Open (quarter-finals) and are the epitome of the strong performance of the American Legion in Paris, and they have their sights set on the upcoming grass-court season.

Lonely loser

Alexander Zverev:

Zverev missed another Grand Slam opportunity and fell into a passive style when he lost to Djokovic in the quarter-finals. His chances of winning a Grand Slam title are increasingly slim. Therefore, the sound of another round of "changing coaches" sounded. Do you think a change of coach will solve Zverev's problem?

Taylor Fritz:

As the No.4 seed, he didn't expect much, but a first-round upset defeat to Daniel Altmaire was still disappointing. He'll have a lot of points to defend this summer.

Stefanos Tsitsipas：

The former French Open runner-up fell out of the top 20 for the first time since 2018 and is ranked 25th after a shock second-round defeat to Gigante.

He is counting on a partnership with new coach Ivanisevic to revive his career. Perhaps next week will see the duo's first collaboration.

Casper Ruud:

Plagued by injury, the Norwegian lost to Borges in the second round, setting a record for the first exit since 2018, and his hopes of winning a Grand Slam title may be fading. The ranking dropped eight places to 16.

Mixed blessings, different emotions

Jennick Sinner:

World No.1 Sinner showed dominance in his run to the final, only to become only the third player in the Open era to miss a Grand Slam title. Such a result is heartbreaking enough.

How will this defeat affect him? Especially against Alcaraz, who suffered four consecutive defeats, will need to quickly adjust their mentality and return to the grass court season.

On the other hand, it may gain a wave of sympathy points to offset the negative impact of some doping incidents.

Novak Djokovic:

Djokovic's fighting spirit is undeniable, with Paris arguing his best performance of the year, but a defeat to Sinner in the semi-finals has led to speculation as to whether he is thinking about the long-term future of his career?

The good thing is that the strength is still there, and the fighting spirit is still there. In the face of Sinner and Alcaraz, the two new rising kings, it is a question of whether to advance or retreat.

Lorenzo Musetti:

The Italian star's clay-clay season ended in heartbreak, reaching his first French Open final and retiring due to injury after pushing Alcaraz to the limit in the first set. May this not be a long-term problem for him. At the same time, his performance on clay saw him leap into the top 10, placing him in sixth place, a career-best ranking.

The first session of the French Open has come to an end. The gold, silver and bronze medalists at last year's Paris Olympics stood at the end of the line. Is it a coincidence? Or is it the ultimate embodiment of strength?

We look forward to Roland Garros continuing to write more legends in tennis.
