This may have been Roland Garros’ most “accident-prone” tournament in years. First, the absence of the defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, who could not defend his title. Then, the high temperatures experienced this past May and early June have caused some players to struggle to compete. Among them, the current world No. 1, Jannik Sinner, who could not overcome cramps and fell to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo.
Djokovic also exited early, in the third round against Joao Fonseca. And, finally, one of the two semifinals could not be played, because the Italian Matteo Arnaldi, who had been the tournament’s great revelation, fell ill. Now only the final remains, in which Alexander Zverev appears well positioned to finally achieve his first Grand Slam title. And you can watch it on Movistar Plus for 9.99 euros a month.

Cobolli – Zverev: the grand final in Paris
The second Grand Slam of the year comes to an end with a surprise in the final, as the one who was going to be the great rival to beat, Jannik Sinner, is not in it. The absence of Carlos Alcaraz due to injury left him free to achieve what would have been his first major victory in Paris. For now, it will continue to elude him. Whoever can inaugurate a Grand Slam is Alexander Zverev. The German player, despite being world No. 3, has none in his career. He has played finals, but has not won any.
Now comes his big opportunity, and facing him is a rival who won’t make it easy, the Italian Flavio Cobolli who, moreover, will be more rested than Zverev, since he did not have to take the court in Friday’s semifinal because his opponent retired due to illness.
So far, the German and Italian have faced each other four times. Zverev has won 3 and Cobolli only once. In 2026 they have met twice. The first, in Munich’s semifinal, where the Italian won 6-3 6-3. The most recent is Alexander Zverev’s victory in the Madrid ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinals, by 6-1 6-4. Who will break the 2026 tie to take his first Grand Slam? You can watch it on Movistar Plus this Sunday, June 7 at 3:00 PM.
