Carlos Alcaraz demonstrated his sportsmanship for a second time at the French Open when facing Jannik Sinner in the final.
The reigning champion at Roland Garros lost the first set, but fought back in the second against the world no. 1 following an honest call.
Sinner was serving at deuce and smashed an effort down the centre of the court, which a line judge called as out.
However, Alcaraz observed the marking on the clay and realised it was actually in, so conceded the point to hand over advantage.
The Spaniard’s gesture comes days after a similar scenario during his fourth round victory against Ben Shelton.
Alcaraz pulled off an excellent winning volley, but the racket was not in his hand when contact was made.
After the point was initially awarded in his favour, he honestly told the umpire and conceded the shot.
The first set between Alcaraz and Sinner lasted a little over an hour as tennis’ top two men’s singles stars fought for the French Open title.
Despite taking the second set to a tiebreak, Alcaraz headed into the third 2-0 down following a spirited display from his opponent.
