Alexander Zverev Faces Flavio Cobolli in French Open Final Chasing Elusive Grand Slam Title

  • On Sunday, third-ranked Alexander Zverev faces 14th-ranked Flavio Cobolli in the French Open final at Roland Garros, marking the fourth major final of Zverev's career.
  • With top-ranked Jannik Sinner struggling in early heat, two-time reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing before the tournament, and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic eliminated, Zverev enters as the clear favorite.
  • Seeking his first Grand Slam title, Zverev lost the 2020 U.S. Open final to Dominic Thiem and was beaten in two other major finals, though he has won three of his four career meetings with Cobolli.
  • Having never passed a Grand Slam quarterfinal until this week, challenger Cobolli hopes to become the first Italian man to win at Roland Garros since Adriano Panatta 50 years ago.
  • The final on the red clay of Roland Garros starts at 3 p.m., with both players having dropped only two sets; they split two encounters on clay this season.
