An old video of Carlos Alcaraz from the 2023 Barcelona Open has gone viral once again, this time after the Spanish sensation triumphed over Italy’s Jannik Sinner in a historic French Open final. In the video, a commentator is heard drawing parallels between Alcaraz’s commanding presence on the court and the batting mastery of Virat Kohli.

The comparison, far from hyperbolic, now appears even more apt following Alcaraz’s breathtaking victory on Sunday. With the same finesse, mental fortitude, and tactical brilliance often attributed to Kohli, the 22-year-old mounted a monumental comeback to defeat world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller that lasted five hours and 29 minutes, the longest final in Roland Garros history.

European commentators about Carlos Alcaraz: "It`s like watching Virat Kohli in cricket or Michael Jordan in Basketball"
