Alexander Zverev captured his first Grand Slam title at the 2026 French Open on June 7, defeating Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1 in the men's singles final at Roland Garros in Paris. Zverev, 29 and the tournament's second seed, converted on his fourth appearance in a Grand Slam final after falling short in the 2020 U.S. Open and subsequent opportunities. Cobolli, the 10th seed, had used a draw depleted by the pre-tournament withdrawals of Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner to reach his first major final, but Zverev's experience and power prevailed in a decisive fifth set.
The win made Zverev the first German man to win a Grand Slam singles title since Boris Becker's 1996 Australian Open triumph. Zverev had been dominant throughout the fortnight, surrendering few sets in reaching the final, and he closed the match with a commanding 6-1 fifth set to end the suspense after Cobolli briefly extended the match through a tiebreak in the fourth.
