(Reuters) - Carlos Alcaraz has won Grand Slams on grass and hardcourts but the Spaniard who broke into the men's tour by making a name for himself as a claycourt specialist has yet to reach the final at the French Open.

Novak Djokovic denied last year's top seed a place in the 2023 final but Alcaraz got revenge a month later when he quickly adapted to the faster grass courts and took the Serbian's crown at Wimbledon, stopping him winning a fifth straight title there.
