French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz says he will "let the people decide" if his comeback victory against Jannik Sinner is one of the greatest matches of all time.

Spain's Alcaraz saved three championship points in the fourth set before securing a 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (10-2) win after five hours and 29 minutes.

The 22-year-old had never previously come back from two sets down at a major.

The quality, tension and excitement of the contest between a standout pair who are creating an absorbing rivalry has led to comparisons with other classic encounters in the sport.

"If people put our match in that [bracket], it's a huge honour for me," said five-time major champion Alcaraz.

"I don't know if it is at the same level as those matches. I let the people talk about whether they are almost the same.

"I'm just happy to put our match and our names in the history of the Grand Slams and in the history of Roland Garros.

"I'll leave the discussion to the people."
