Alexander Zverev has finally won his first Grand Slam title, triumphing in the French Open men's singles final. The German star defeated Italy's Flavio Cobolli in a five-set marathon that lasted 4 hours and 16 minutes. Zverev, the tournament's second seed, won 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-1.

This victory ends a 30-year drought for German men in Grand Slam tennis, with the last German to win a major being Boris Becker at the 1996 Australian Open. Zverev had previously reached three Grand Slam finals, losing each time.
