Alexander Zverev won his first Grand Slam title at the French Open, defeating Italy’s Flavio Cobolli in a thrilling five-set final, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1. This victory marks Zverev as the first German man to win a major tournament since Boris Becker in 1996. Cobolli, the 10th seed, aimed to become the first Italian man to win the French Open in 50 years but struggled with nerves early in the match. Zverev, despite making 54 unforced errors, capitalized on Cobolli’s mistakes to secure the championship after four hours and 16 minutes.
