Rafael Nadal was among the big names to congratulate Carlos Alcaraz on his incredible French Open victory. Nadal, who won a staggering 14 titles at Roland-Garros and is still known as the King of Clay, was joined by a host of other tennis stars who waxed lyrical about Sunday's mind-blowing match.

John McEnroe has claimed that both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner would beat Rafael Nadal “at his best” after the pair contested an extraordinary French Open final.
