We have a winner! Alexander Zverev defeated Flavio Cobolli in the Roland Garros 2026 final in five sets, after a long match under the Parisian sun. The German secures his first Grand Slam title!

It was a spectacular show we witnessed this Sunday! Flavio Cobolli and Alexander Zverev went head-to-head on the Roland-Garros clay in the final of the legendary tennis tournament. The two elite athletes battled relentlessly in the capital this June 7, 2026. This year, no Alcaraz or Sinner; the top seeds were quickly eliminated, just like in the women's draw. The German prevailed in five sets, in a gripping 4h16 match.

It's the first time the player has won the French Open, a remarkable feat! To the cheers of the crowd from the 16th arrondissement, Zverev dropped two sets but never gave up, the Italian-looking opponent appearing exhausted as the match wore on. An exceptional victory for the 29-year-old, who lifts the Mousquetaires Cup, his very first Grand Slam, after regularly reaching finals without clinching them.

The world No. 3 thus defeated the world No. 14, who held out for a long time, in a clash that broke with the usual routine and brought a refreshing breeze to the tournament. The 2026 edition of Roland-Garros ends this Sunday, June 7! See you next year!
