German tennis number one Alexander Zverev beat Italy's Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1 in the final of the French Open on Sunday to win a first ever Grand Slam.
The 29-year-old from Hamburg, currently ranked third in the world, had previously lost in the finals of the US Open (2020), the French Open (2024) and the Australian Open (2025), but finally secured a maiden Grand Slam in Paris.
Zverev became the favorite for this year's tournament at Roland Garros after top seed and world number one Jannik Sinner was eliminated in the second round followed by world number four Novak Djokovic in the third round.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz pulled out of the event with an arm injury and Zverev took full advantage, only losing two sets of tennis en route to the final against tenth seed Cobolli.
