Zverev ended his long wait for a major title, winning the 2026 French Open and claiming his first Grand Slam singles crown. World No. 3 Zverev defeated Italy’s Flavio Cobolli 6–1, 4–6, 6–4, 6–7(5), 6–1 in a gruelling five-set final on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The reigning Olympic gold medalist, a three-time Slam runner-up, dominated the first set and reasserted control after Cobolli’s second-set rebounce. Cobolli pushed the match to a tiebreak in the fourth, but Zverev broke early in the fifth and raced to victory in 3 hours 21 minutes.
