Jude Bellingham picks the tennis match that was his favourite sporting moment from 2025

Bellingham won the UEFA Champions League in his first season with the Spanish giants and has continued to be a major fixture in the Real Madrid side.

Recently, Bellingham revealed his favourite sporting moment from 2025, and it was not anything witnessed on a football pitch.

Jude Bellingham says the French Open Men’s Singles final was his favourite sporting moment from 2025

As reported by The Tennis Letter, Jude Bellingham has chosen Carlos Alcaraz’s French Open triumph as his favourite sporting moment of 2025.

Bellingham said: “I do think watching that Alcaraz Sinner final, actually, at the French Open.

“That was probably the most involved I’ve felt, being in a sports moment that I wasn’t in.

In what was one of the greatest sporting spectacles in history, Alcaraz fought back from two sets down against Sinner to win 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6.

Remarkably, Alcaraz saved three consecutive championship points at 4-5 in the fourth set, before coming back to claim victory.

The victory marked Alcaraz’s second French Open title and fifth major title. Since then, he has gone on to win two more Grand Slams at the US Open and Australian Open.

Daniil Medvedev or Andrey Rublev are Alcaraz’s likely semi-final opponents in Doha, before a potential clash with Jannik Sinner in the final.

What did Carlos Alcaraz say after the French Open final?

“The match is not finished until he wins the last point,” Alcaraz said after clinching the title. “It’s just one point away from losing the match, yeah, but a lot of times people came back from match-point down in the final of a grand slam or even in other matches.

“So I just wanted to be one of those players who saved match point in the grand slam final and ended up winning.

“I just believe all the time. I have never doubted myself. Even though in those match points down, I thought just one point at a time.

“Just one point and then after one point and then try to save that game and keep believing. That’s what I thought.”

“Today there were few moments of the match that, I mean, the level was insane.”

Sinner said: “I prepared for the grand slam with one tournament, also on clay, making the final. Of course, difficult to accept now because I had lots of chances, but this is the good part of the sport.

“Also, today it got me the sad part, no? But if you watch only the sad part, you’re never going to come back, no? I believe I have improved as a player since last year, which is good. So we try to keep pushing.”

“Being Jannik on the other side of the net playing at such a great level, sometimes I thought: ‘What can I do? What can I do?’ He was moving unbelievable.

“He was hitting amazing shots. There were a few moments of the match that he couldn’t miss any ball. I mean, that level, it was really, really high.”
