Following Carlos Alcaraz’s epic 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) victory over Jannik Sinner in the French Open 2025 men’s final on June 8, Nike celebrated their star athlete with a concise three-word message in Spanish: “Cabeza. Corazón. Historia.” (Head. Heart. History.) The post, shared on X by @Nike at 22:01 WAT, accompanied a photo of Alcaraz roaring in triumph, capturing the intensity of the longest Roland Garros final in history, lasting five hours and 29 minutes, per Sports Illustrated.[](https://www.si.com/onsi/serve/style/nike-posts-3-words-after-carlos-alcaraz-won-the-french-open)[](https://x.com/ServeOnSI/status/1931818903132573712)
The message highlighted Alcaraz’s mental fortitude, passion, and historic achievement as the third-youngest man in the Open Era to win five Grand Slams at 22 years and 34 days, per ESPN. Fans on X, like @SoleRetriever and @JustFreshKicks, amplified Nike’s tribute, praising the “iconic” post and Alcaraz’s comeback from two sets down, saving three match points. Alcaraz, a Nike athlete since 2019 with a $15-$20 million annual deal, solidified his status as a cornerstone of Nike Tennis, alongside Sinner, per Forbes.[]
