Alexander Zverev defeated Jakub Mensik 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in the French Open men's singles semifinal on June 5, 2026, advancing to his fourth Grand Slam final — but in four sets, not the three required to satisfy the straight-sets condition. Zverev, seeded second and having dropped only one set in five prior matches, was swept through the first two sets before Mensik, the 26th seed, seized a medical timeout, shifted his approach with aggressive drop shots and baseline play, and took the third set 6-3 to avoid elimination in straight sets. Zverev regrouped, broke early in the fourth, and closed out the match without further drama. Mensik had arrived at the semifinal with momentum after eliminating higher-ranked opponents in earlier rounds. The question resolves false because it explicitly required a straight-sets victory — three consecutive sets won without losing one — a condition the 3-6 third set rendered impossible regardless of Zverev's overall dominance. The Predict Six community was evenly split at 50 percent on whether Zverev would advance in straight sets.
