Summary
Alexander Zverev completed a career breakthrough in Paris, beating Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1 in a five-set men’s final for his first major title.
Four prior major-final appearances and more than 550 career wins had left Zverev tagged as the best player never to win a Slam; the Roland Garros title rewrites that résumé.
Mirra Andreeva captured the women’s title for her first Grand Slam, breaking through at 19 after a tournament that also featured surprise finalist Maja Chwalińska.
The event was marked by upheaval as top seeds fell early—Jannik Sinner exited in the second round, Novak Djokovic in the first week, and no previous major winner remained after the fourth round.
