The first Grand Slam final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner not only exceeded expectations, it sets an entirely new narrative for the sport.

No. 1 Jannik Sinner will face No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final on Sunday. It's the first matchup between the two in a Grand Slam event.

Alcaraz and Sinner's first meeting in a Grand Slam final extends the self-perpetuating excellence that is lifting them above everybody else.
