Alexander Zverev Wins French Open, Earns His First Grand Slam Title

Alexander Zverev on Sunday beat Flavio Caballi 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7, 5-6, 2-1 in his fourth major final for the French Open title. The Grand Slam champion ended the German player's record of no major titles as one of the best players. When Zverev was handed the Coupe des Mesquiteurs trophy, he lifted it with both hands and let out a liberating roar. This court is so special to me in so many ways. I've had the best moments of my life on this court. I had the worst moment of my life on these courts. Zverev said, referring to when he was injured and pushed off on a wheelchair during a semifinal against Rafael Nadal in 2022. I was laying in that corner over there four years ago with seven broken ligaments and two fractured bones. Zverev said, I lost a Grand Slam final here two years ago, but now, finally, it's a happy end. Zverev has now joined an elite group of players that captured their first major in their fourth final, eight-time major champion Andre Agassi, 2001 Wimbledon winner Goran Ivanesevic, and 2020 U.S. Open champion Dominic Thien.
