Tim Henman claimed that he heard Carlos Alcaraz complain about something during Sunday’s French Open final.

The 21-year-old maintained his unbeaten record in major finals by defeating Alexander Zverev 6-3 2-6 5-7 6-1 6-2 to claim victory.

He overcame a two sets to one deficit to become the first man to become the first man in the open era to win his first three Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces.

The Spaniard is now the World number two and is aiming to achieve more success in tennis and further add to his legacy.

What did Tim Henman say Carlos Alcaraz complained about?

Alcaraz had several challenges such as overturning a two sets to one deficit and physical issues after taking a medical timeout against Zverev.

He overcame those challenges superbly well, as well as the challenges he found with the court, as Henman heard him complain about the surface which was impacted due to the windy conditions.

“There is very little negativity. The only time he was negative was when he complained about the court and said this is like a hard court. And it is. It’s very dusty out here,” the Brit told Eurosport.

“But once he got that positive mindset, there is a very good connection with his coach and down two sets to one, you are thinking it’s going to be very difficult. But the way he responded, it’s a phenomenal effort.”

Which Roger Federer feat did Carlos Alcaraz match after winning the French Open?

The elation on Alcaraz’s face was clear for all to see after capturing the third major of his career on a packed court Philippe Chatrier.

He made his way to his box and celebrated with coach and former French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero, the rest of his team and his family.

Alcaraz said his dream was to join the list of Spaniards who have triumphed at the clay court Grand Slam and he has certainly added to that legacy of 21 titles for the country.

In the process the player became the first man to win a major after playing a five-set semi-final and final since Roger Federer won the 2017 Australian Open.

At the age of 35 after several months out with a knee injury, the Swiss Maestro claimed a 7-5, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6, 6-3 over compatriot Stan Wawrinka before overcoming great rival and friend Rafael Nadal 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to win the 18th of his 20 Grand Slam titles.
