Roland Garros Final Set as Zverev and Cobolli Chase First Slam Title : The Tico Times | Costa Rica News
Zverev reached his fourth Grand Slam singles final after beating Jakub Mensik, while Flavio Cobolli advanced on Matteo Arnaldi’s viral-illness withdrawal.
- On Friday, Alexander Zverev defeated Czech Jakub Mensik 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to reach the Roland-Garros final, where he will face 10th-seeded Flavio Cobolli, who advanced after fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi withdrew due to a viral illness.
- Zverev progressed to his fourth major final by dominating the draw following early exits by top seeds, while Cobolli secured his maiden Grand Slam final appearance without playing his semifinal match against the ill Arnaldi.
- Their rivalry stands at 3-1 to Zverev, and their friendship grew at the 2024 Laver Cup, where Zverev said Cobolli is "a great player and a great guy."
- Seeking his maiden major title, the 29-year-old Zverev aims to overcome his history of Grand Slam heartbreak, including his 2024 Roland-Garros loss to Carlos Alcaraz and 2020 U.S. Open defeat.
- Dismissing concerns that Cobolli's extra rest provides an advantage, Zverev said, "I feel like I could play again now," ahead of their championship match scheduled for Sunday.
