Zverev Reaches Fourth Grand Slam Final Without a Title, Will Face Cobolli at French Open

Alexander Zverev defeated Jakub Mensik 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 on June 5 at Roland Garros to reach the French Open men's final. Zverev will face Flavio Cobolli on Sunday on Philippe-Chatrier court. The German reached a Grand Slam final for the third consecutive year and has dropped only two sets during the tournament.

Zverev has spent twelve total hours on court entering the final. His semifinal match lasted just over three hours. Several top players left the draw before the later rounds. Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic exited in earlier rounds.

Two-time French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew before the event due to a wrist injury. Two-time Paris finalist Casper Ruud also lost early. Zverev owns 24 tour-level titles. Flavio Cobolli advanced to the final without playing his semifinal after fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi withdrew due to a viral illness.

The New York Post reported that Cobolli is a first-time Grand Slam finalist. "Alexander Zverev fended off first-time semi-finalist Jakub Menšík in four sets (7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3) to reach the French Open final," France 24 reported.
