French Open 2024 final live: Two-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz faces Olympic champion Alexander Zverev in a showdown for the trophy on Court Philippe-Chatrier

Zverev can only stare at the lines as Alcaraz storms 40-0 to the good.

The Spaniard leaves his opponent stranded with a perfect dropper to neutralise a wide return before licking the back-end of the baseline with a mid-court forehand howitzer.

Sascha sticks to the task and a sudden dip in the electrifying standards in front of him piques his interest at deuce.

The German charges the net to earn a BP when Carlitos lobs long, but a clutch serve quickly wipes it out.

There’s a cagey face-off around deuce where Alcaraz needs a clutch forehand and serve to swat away two more break points before he finally edges out of dodge with an exceptional crosscourt backhand winner to hold a near 11-minute game.
