HTH - Alexander Zverev leads 3-1
Cobolli Reaches Maiden Grand Slam Final
Long Wait Nears Its End for Zverev

Alexander Zverev has certainly shown signs of nerves in big Grand Slam matches over the years, but most of those disappointments came against elite-level opponents. Here, against Flavio Cobolli, the gap in big-stage experience is enormous, and that should work heavily in Zverev's favor as he continues his pursuit of a long-awaited maiden Grand Slam title.

Another important factor is that Zverev has not lost to a non-top-10 player at Roland Garros since 2020, highlighting how reliably he has handled these types of matchups.

One Last Obstacle Remains

Flavio Cobolli holds a 3–2 record in tour-level finals.
He owns a 4–5 record against Top 10 players on clay.
Alexander Zverev has a 0–3 record in Grand Slam finals.
He holds a 6–8 career record against Top 20 players at Roland Garros.

Cobolli Reaches Maiden Grand Slam Final

After defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in four sets in the quarterfinals, Flavio Cobolli received a walkover from compatriot Matteo Arnaldi to reach the Roland Garros final. The extra rest could prove valuable, as he enters the championship match fresher than his opponent.

Apart from his victory over Auger-Aliassime, Cobolli's route to the final has been relatively comfortable. He faced three opponents ranked outside the Top 80, Andrea Pellegrino, Yibing Wu and Zachary Svajda, along with Learner Tien, who has limited experience on clay at this level.

With this run, Cobolli becomes the fourth Italian man in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam final after Adriano Panatta, Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini.

The Italian has won 24 matches across 13 tournaments this season, with 19 of those victories coming in just five events. His best results include the title in Acapulco, a runner-up finish in Munich, a semifinal in Delray Beach, a quarterfinal in Madrid and now a run to the Roland Garros final. These performances have confirmed his Top 10 debut next week.

Cobolli heads into the biggest match of his career with a 3-2 record in tour-level finals. His most recent final ended in a straight-set defeat to Ben Shelton in Munich earlier this year.

Long Wait Nears Its End for Zverev

Alexander Zverev moved into the final after defeating talented Czech youngster Jakub Mensik in four sets, 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. He fired eight aces and saved three of the four break points he faced during the match.

The German's long wait for a Grand Slam title is now just one match away from ending. Following the exit of Jannik Sinner, Zverev has emerged as the most accomplished player left in the draw and will see this as a golden opportunity to finally capture a major title after years of consistency at the highest level.

The 29-year-old has not faced a Top 20 opponent on his way to the Roland Garros final. The only previous time he reached a Grand Slam final without facing a Top 20 player was at the 2020 US Open, where he famously lost to Dominic Thiem after leading by two sets. This time, he will hope for a different ending.

This is his seventh semifinal-or-better result of the season. Most of those runs ended in the semifinals, including a victory over Flavio Cobolli, his next opponent, in the Munich semifinals. His only final appearance this year ended in defeat to Sinner in Madrid.

Zverev owns an unfortunate 0-3 record in Grand Slam finals, although all three defeats came against Top 3 opponents. He lost to Thiem at the 2020 US Open, to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros in 2024, and to Sinner at the 2025 Australian Open.
