Alexander Zverev won a gruelling five-setter of a 2026 French Open final with Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1 to finally become a Grand Slam champion While producing top tennis at times, both players struggled to cope with the pressure as they looked to claim a maiden major, making numerous errors in a match that consisted of 115 unforced errors. It looked that would cost Zverev, as it has in his previous Grand Slam finals, when Cobolli fought back from behind multiple times in the four

Andreeva fired down 25 winners while converting seven of 12 break-p

Sinner, the red-hot favourite at Roland Garros, appeared to be cruising to victory, holding a two-set lead and a commanding 5–1 advantage in the third, before suddenly taking a turn for the worse. The Italian complained of dehydration and dizziness, saying he felt as though he might vomit
