After a day at school, a young Carlos Alcaraz would run home - desperate to watch his hero Rafael Nadal in action.
Now, just as 14-time French Open champion Nadal did, 21-year-old Alcaraz has a chance to create his own tournament legacy.
The Spaniard has already won two of the sport's four biggest events - the 2022 US Open and Wimbledon last year - and takes on Germany's Alexander Zverev in Sunday's Roland Garros final.
Alcaraz's five-set semi-final victory over incoming world number one Jannik Sinner made him the youngest man to reach Grand Slam finals on all three surfaces: hard court, grass and now the Paris clay.
