“The Longest Final” Fine Art Print by Marta Bazan
Marta Bazan’s ‘The Longest Final’ Fine Art Print revisits the longest final in Roland Garros history. On 8 June 2025, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner starred in a tennis spectacle lasting 5 hours and 29 minutes, which was immediately hailed as one of the greatest tennis matches of all time. This inspired Marta Bazan to create her own interpretation of the match, featuring a dozen or so iconic moments from the event. Although the composition was created digitally, the final original is 100% hand-drawn; every line, shadow and detail in this illustration is the result of many hours of manual work using markers and coloured pencils.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“5 Hours, 29 Minutes” Fine Art Print by Marta Bazan
Do you love that feeling when you’re watching a sporting event and you know history is being made right before your eyes? That’s exactly what tennis fans experienced on 8 June 2025, when Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner 4–6, 6–7, 6-4, 7-6 to Jannik Sinner in the Roland Garros final, despite the Italian having three match points at 5-3 in the fifth set on the Spaniard’s serve.
“In creating the ‘Sinner vs. Alcaraz’ illustration, we wanted to pay tribute to this incredible encounter. Those 5 hours and 29 minutes of tennis magic on Court Philippe-Chatrier, gifted to us by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, will remain forever in the memories of fans” – Serve and Volley Art.
A tribute to the art of tennis
The artistry of this tennis spectacle therefore demanded a unique setting; that is why, although such a complex composition was created digitally, the final original is 100% hand-drawn by Marta Bazan. The drawing was transferred onto paper by hand, fragment by fragment, using a lightbox. The first layer of colour is the result of the characteristic bleeding of alcohol-based markers, whilst the final depth, texture and vivid details are imparted by layers of coloured pencils.
Fine Art collector’s quality
The choice of Galerie Rag 270 g/m² paper is no accident either. Its 100% cotton content ensures that the poster perfectly matches the traditional substrate of the original, offering a deep matt finish and a velvety texture. Unlike ordinary poster paper, this fine material does not reflect light, allowing the full detail of the illustration to be seen even in very sunny rooms.
The work is also available as a canvas print, and an original, hand-painted copy awaits its owner in our gallery
Printing technique
How we print our fine art posters
Every Serve and Volley Art tennis poster begins with an artist’s original work, whether a hand-painted picture or a digital illustration. We digitise the artwork with scanners at over 1200 DPI and verify colour fidelity through colour proofing. We print exclusively using the pigment (giclée) technique, the same one used by museums and galleries around the world. Pigment inks resist UV, moisture and the passage of time, and testing confirms colour permanence exceeding 75 years in home conditions.
We produce every order individually. Your Fine Art Print is printed specially for you, quality-checked and packed in a protective cardboard tube. From order to dispatch takes 2 to 3 working days. Choose a frame locally, as the poster dimensions match the most popular ready-made frame sizes.
- Galerie Rag paper 270 g/m² (100% cotton): Refined, premium, matt, acid-free and free of optical brighteners. Its smooth, velvety surface keeps whites natural and gives colours remarkable depth. The paper does not yellow or grow brittle over time.
- Giclée pigment printing: We use an advanced technique with 12 pigment inks. Unlike ordinary printing, the pigments sink deep into the cotton fibres, giving perfect tonal transitions and detail that an ordinary poster cannot reproduce.
- Glare-free matt depth: Thanks to the fully matt paper base, the print does not reflect light. You can enjoy the artwork comfortably even in bright, sunlit rooms, whatever angle you view the wall from.
- Resistant to UV and fading, 75+ years
- Longevity (75+ years): Our prints undergo rigorous ageing tests. The pigments’ resistance to UV light ensures the colours stay just as intense for decades, making your poster a true collector’s piece.
- Protection and format: We ship posters in thick, reinforced tubes, wrapped in protective tissue. The formats are optimised for standard frames (from professional framers to popular framing systems), which keeps framing simple and intuitive.

Meet the artist
Marta Bazan
Marta is an illustrator in love with colour, shape, line and pattern. She makes light-hearted illustrations saturated with a boundless palette of colour. In everyday life she values restraint, but in her work what matters most are countless details, colour and light. She loves drawing playful characters, architecture and still lifes. Her aim is to bring a smile to the people who see her work, the little ones and the fully grown alike. She keeps pushing her skills to come closer to her own idea of perfection: the imagination and lightness of a child.“Engineering turned out to be too serious and marketing too pushy, so going back to a teenage passion was a bullseye.”She works in traditional media, with a few small exceptions, now and then swapping gouache for a tablet. More and more she reaches for markers or coloured pencils, which give her even more freedom and more room to play with form and texture. She adores retro book and magazine illustration, but in truth she finds most of her inspiration in everyday life: people she meets by chance, colourful fashion and travel. No, she does not play tennis, but she is brilliant at cheering from the stands and in front of the television. .

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A fine art print is a top quality reproduction made using pigment printing on archival photographic paper. At SVA we use Galerie Rag 270gsm cotton paper. It is the same technique museums and galleries use to reproduce works of art, and its colour fastness exceeds 75 years. An ordinary poster is offset or digital print on thin, glossy wood pulp paper. It is cheaper, but it fades quickly and does not hold the subtle tonal transitions.
Galerie Rag is a premium photographic paper made from 100% cotton, with a weight of 270gsm. It has a matt, smooth surface with no glare, ideal for art reproduction. Unlike wood pulp papers, cotton paper does not yellow over time and stays pH neutral, which guarantees the archival longevity of the print. It is the standard paper used by galleries and collectors worldwide.
No, our fine art prints are sold unframed. We ship them in a sturdy cardboard tube that keeps them safe in transit. You can easily find a matching frame at a local framing shop, an art supply store, or online. Our print sizes match the most common ready-made frame dimensions (30 × 40, 40 × 50, 50 × 70, 70 × 100 and 100 × 140 cm).
We ship the print in a sturdy cardboard tube with an extra layer of protective paper that shields it from moisture and creasing. The tube is sealed, and inside you will find the edition certificate. Production time: 1-2 business days. Delivery time: 1-2 business days. Shipping is free on orders over €100.
Like all our fine art prints, “The Longest Final” has a clean white border that gives it a gallery feel and a little breathing room inside the frame. It looks best in a simple frame that lets the artwork lead: a light wood tone such as oak feels warm on the wall, while a matt black frame gives a sharper, more contemporary contrast. Both pair well with the print, so the choice really comes down to your interior. And because the sizes match standard frame dimensions, you can pick a ready-made frame with no custom work.
A fine art poster is an archival pigment print on Galerie Rag photographic paper (270 g/m²); it requires framing and is suitable for classic, collector-style display. A canvas print is a pigment print on Hahnemühle cotton canvas (365 g/m²) stretched over a wooden stretcher, ready to hang, with the texture of the fabric clearly visible.
The fine art print edition of Marta Bazan’s “The Longest Final” comes in a limited run of 50 numbered copies.
