Fast forward to 1999, still in Roland Garros, Agassi faced the challenge of Russia's Ann Medvedev, who lost two sets 1-6, 2-6 in the first two sets, and then he scored two-three in 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to make two chases and three, achieving a professional gold slam.
The fourth Grand Slam final left two to three at the French Open, and the 2004 French Open final was played between Gaudio and Coria. Gaudío lost the first two sets 0-6, 3-6, and in the last three sets, Gaudio defeated his opponents 6-4, 6-1, 8-6 and won the French Open that year.
The fifth Grand Slam final let the two chase three occur in 2020, Thiem and Zverev met in the US Open final, Zverev won the first two sets 6-2/ 6-4, the key moment Thiem Jedi counterattacked, 6-4/6-3/7-6 won the last three sets of the game, the winning Tim became the first person in the post-90s Grand Slam.
In last year's Men's Singles Final at the French Open, Tsitsipas won the first two sets 7-6, 6-2. Djokovic won the third to fifth sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in a back-to-back battle, defeating Tsitsipas 3-2 on aggregate to achieve a career double Grand Slam.
