The Paris fortnight concluded on Sunday June 7 with Alexander Zverev claiming the men's singles crown. The German defeated Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1 in four hours and sixteen minutes to win his first Grand Slam title.
This 2026 edition was defined by firsts. First major final for Cobolli, first Grand Slam title for Zverev after three final losses, first crown for Mirra Andreeva in the women's draw, and the first qualifier in a Grand Slam final (Chwalińska) since Emma Raducanu in 2021.
The men's final delivered a script worthy of the sport's greatest matches. Zverev, imperious in the first and fifth sets, withstood Cobolli's brave fightback that forced a decider through a fourth-set tie-break won 7-5.
In doubles, Siniaková and Townsend claimed the women's title, while Errani and Vavassori retained their mixed doubles crown. The juniors saw new talents emerge with Oktiabreva and Guto Miguel.
The fortnight's overall story is remarkable. None of the four singles finalists had previously reached a Grand Slam final. The new generation has seized power on Parisian clay, confirming the deep renewal sweeping through world tennis over the past two seasons.
Zverev, at 29, stands as the elder statesman in this landscape. His triumph rewards a decade of elite consistency and a capacity to reinvent himself mentally after painful defeats.
