Alexander Zverev and Flavio Cobolli are set to face off in Sunday’s French Open final in Paris, but there is more to this match than the usual Grand Slam stakes.
Zverev reached the final with a four-set win over Jakub Mensik, coming through 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 on Friday.
Cobolli advanced after Matteo Arnaldi withdrew due to illness, sending the Italian into his first Grand Slam final.
Zverev is still searching for his first major **** le. Cobolli is stepping into the biggest match of his career.
Their storyline is shaped as much by friendship as competition. Zverev has explained how the two became close during the 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin, a bond that now adds a personal twist to their Paris showdown.
