Alexander Zverev beat Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1 on Sunday in the French Open final to win his first major title. He is the first player outside of an elite cohort of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and the former Big Three—including Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal—to win a Grand Slam since Daniil Medvedev won the 2021 U.S. Open.
In the women’s final on Saturday, Mirra Andreeva defeated Maja Chwalińska 6-3, 6-2 to win the biggest title of her career. At 19 years old, she is the third-youngest Grand Slam women’s champion of the 21st Century and the youngest at Roland Garros since Monica Seles in 1992. Andreeva was dominant throughout her championship run, dropping only one set in her seven matches.
Both singles winners in Paris took home $3.3 million. (The French Open typically pays out the third-most prize money of the four majors.)
At the end of the 15 days of play, the man with the second-best odds to win the tournament and the woman with the fifth-best odds to win lifted their respective trophies. Those final outcomes, however, mask just how wild this 2026 French Open was. Let’s review some of the chaos.
