Zverev claims first Grand Slam title at French Open

Alexander Zverev won his first Grand Slam title at the French Open on June 7, 2026, defeating Flavio Cobolli in a five-set final. Zverev, who had previously exited the tournament in a wheelchair due to injury, overcame a two-set deficit to claim victory. This win marks a significant comeback for Zverev, who lost three previous Grand Slam finals before finally achieving success. He dedicated the win to his family and team, reflecting on his journey from injury and heartbreak to this championship moment. The victory also comes as Zverev navigated a challenging path after top contenders like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic were removed from the tournament bracket early.
