Carlos Alcaraz progressed to the third round of the French Open in Paris after beating his fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos-Viñolas in a delirious five-set ...

What is clear is that Alcaraz is one of the most thrilling sights in the sport right now and his matches to come will be essential viewing. The match was ultimately decided by two supreme pieces of skill and athleticism. As Alcaraz’s errors flowed, he took the second and third sets and then he broke to serve for the match at 5-4. By cutting out his own errors, keeping the ball in play and striking one outrageous bounce smash winner, Alcaraz survived before edging out the tiebreak. He was, according to some bookmakers, the tournament favourite to win Roland Garros even with Djokovic and Nadal present. The challenge before Alcaraz on the third biggest court was one of the ultimate irritants in the game.

French Open 2022 -- Carlos Alcaraz pulls off epic comeback -- and ... (ESPN)

It looked like Carlos Alcaraz was going to lose on Wednesday. But he didn't -- and showed some viral-worthy points that only make him more of a star.

Entering Wednesday's match, he had won 11-straight matches and was experiencing a magical season on clay, with titles in both Barcelona and Madrid. During the latter event, he defeated Nadal and Djokovic on consecutive days in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Of course, it might be too premature to be thinking about that. Alcaraz will next face American Sebastian Korda in the third round in what should be another tightly contested battle. His self-belief and never-quit attitude enamored him even further to the already devoted crowd, who seemed to sense they were witnessing something special. "Of course it was tough, saving match ball is always tough, but I believe in myself." But since then, he's put himself in another stratosphere, with fans and expectations normally reserved only for Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. His matches have become must-see viewing, and the hype has grown with every victory.
