Alexander Zverev secured the first Grand Slam title of his career by outlasting Flavio Cobolli in a dramatic five-set final at Roland Garros, winning 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1 on Sunday. The victory ended a run of near-misses for Zverev at the majors and gave him the one trophy that had eluded him to this point.

This was the fourth major final of Zverev’s career. He had been runner-up on three previous occasions: at the US Open in 2020, when he lost to Dominic Thiem in five sets; at Roland Garros in 2024, when he fell to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets; and at the Australian Open in 2025, when he was defeated by Jannik Sinner in straight sets. Entering this match he risked becoming only the third man in the Open Era to lose his first four major finals, joining Ivan Lendl and Andy Murray, but the outcome means his name will not go on that list.

Beyond the personal milestone of a first major, the result completes another notable career achievement for Zverev. With the Roland Garros title he has now won tour-level events at every category: ATP 250, ATP 500, ATP Masters 1000, ATP Finals, the Olympics and a Grand Slam. That sweep places him in rare company; he is the fourth man ever to claim tour-level titles at every level, joining Andre Agassi, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

For context about other greats, Federer was only missing the Olympics from that list, and Nadal was only missing the ATP Finals. Zverev’s triumph at Roland Garros both closes a chapter of major final frustration and adds a defining line to a career that now includes success at every tier of the modern tour.

Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend returned to Grand Slam victory with a straight-sets win at Roland Garros, beating second-seeded Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic 6-2, 7-5. After falling behind 4-1 in the second set, the top seeds rallied to claim the clay-court major and register their third different major trophy together.

The Paris title follows their triumphs at 2024 Wimbledon and the 2025 Australian Open, leaving the pair with an opportunity to complete a team Career Grand Slam in New York later this year. Townsend reflected on what the American major would mean, saying, “For me the US Open would mean everything for me to be able to win that. I’ve gotten close several times as well. Lost to (Katerina) the first time,” Townsend smiled when speaking to press.

Siniakova was emotional after the victory as the duo collected their seventh team title. For the Czech, who already has a Career Golden Slam with Barbora Krejcikova, this marked her 11th Grand Slam crown in women’s doubles. Four of those titles have come at the clay-court major with three different partners.

Speaking about their partnership, Siniakova said, “The game of me and Taylor is totally different. I think for the opponents it’s also really tricky, because we can change it, and we can play almost anything we want. We can just do it during the game. I’m just really glad that we kind of work on everything and play anything, because then it’s also making it easier for us.”

The pair have been in strong form across the spring, winning four of the last five events they contested, with earlier titles at Indian Wells, Miami and Madrid. For Townsend, time away from her five-year-old son Adyn is a challenge she willingly accepts. “Of course, winning a title in a Grand Slam, it’s amazing. My dad, he was like, ‘I taped the ceremony, so I’ll show it when he wakes up.’ For (Adyn) to be able to see me succeeding, it means a lot to me, but also to be able to bring back lessons and things that I’ve learned and to come back a better person really drives and motivates me a lot,” Townsend said.

Seventeen-year-old Luis Guto Miguel completed a landmark week at Roland Garros, claiming the junior boys’ singles title and becoming the first Brazilian to win a junior singles trophy at the clay-court major. The top seed closed out the final on Court Simonne-Mathieu Saturday, defeating Michael Antonius, 6-3, 6-4.

“I think Brazil are living a good moment again.”

Miguel reflected on the length of the work behind the achievement. “I think it means a lot, for sure. It’s a lot of hard work me and my team have put, not only this week, but many, many years ago,” he told press. “I think everything worked right now, but just really happy. Enjoying the moment, but keep humble, because we have a lot to do yet.”

He credited the crowd for feeding his energy during the event. “I’m the kind of player that (likes) to play with the crowd. In Brazil, especially because we are most(ly) a football country, the crowd is always supporting a lot. I like to play with that, so I just want to thank everyone that cheered for me today.

“Yeah, it was a big atmosphere. I will never forget this day.”

Miguel said he had drawn inspiration from other recent moments at the tournament. Just over a week earlier, he saw countryman Joao Fonseca rally from two sets down to topple Novak Djokovic, Miguel’s idol, on his way to a first major quarterfinal appearance.

“Brazil have amazing history here in French Open,” he reflected. “What Guga have made, Fonseca made this week, and now I think I did a little bit more for Brazil right now.”

The title on the Paris clay represents a notable milestone for Brazilian junior tennis and caps a week in which Miguel combined seeding, composure and crowd support to secure a straight-sets victory in the final.
