Will Alexander Zverev finally do it?
Alexander Zverev vs Flavio Cobolli Live score, French Open 2026: Whoever wins today the French Open — Germany’s Alexander Zverev or Italy’s Flavio Cobolli — will be winning their first grand slam. Zverev, however, goes into the match as a red-hot favourite for the simple reason that he is much more experienced. It’s his fourth final, and that he has won three contests against Cobolli and lost just one.
The Italian also has one advantage going into the game. It’s that he had got a walkover in the semifinals after his opponent and fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi pulled out on account of a viral illness. Which means going into the final, Cobolli will be absolutely fresh. In tennis, an extra break can help a player a lot. Although it can also backfire since the tournament rhythm also gets broken.

Alexander Zverev vs Flavio Cobolli Live score, French Open 2026: Zverev’s story in short!
Alexander Zverev vs Flavio Cobolli Live score, French Open 2026: Zverev should win his first grand slam tonight. Tennis can’t be that cruel to him. He has been playing for a long time, but unfortunately for him, he has played in an era where some of the greatest of the game also plied their trade, like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
And then after those two, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz burst on the scene with extraordinary talent. Having said that, he can’t afford to lose focus against Cobolli, even though the latter is playing his first final. His game on clay is quite solid, and on his day, he can certainly pull off an upset.

Maybe having almost four days off is a lot, so you lose the rhythm, but I think also during the warm-up I played well. I think I’ll be ready for the final, for sure, but I also know that I’ll be fresh. Maybe it’ll help, maybe not. I’ll tell you after the final,” he said.
