Summary
2-0 in the fifth set, Alexander Zverev held serve after a tense game to move ahead of Flavio Cobolli in the French Open men’s final.
Two double faults put Zverev under immediate pressure, but he erased break-back danger with a big serve and a backhand down the line before closing out the game.
The match had already swung through four sets, with Zverev leading 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 before Cobolli forced a decider by taking the fourth-set tiebreak 7-5.
At Stade Roland-Garros, both men are chasing a first Grand Slam title, with Zverev trying to end an 0-3 record in major finals.
