Querrey, Isner Slam French Open's Final Week as 2 Top Men's Seeds Crash Out

Sam Querrey and John Isner said the 2026 French Open's closing rounds have lacked quality, with Querrey calling the last two days poor viewing and Isner saying the matches were not drama-filled.
Weather and a wave of early upsets helped produce that drop-off, they argued, after Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic exited in rounds two and three and several top women's contenders fell before the quarterfinals.
Those exits opened both singles draws to first-time champions, and the men's final will guarantee a new major winner from outside the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic-Alcaraz-Sinner group that has dominated since 2005.
Alexander Zverev will chase his first Slam after losing 3 previous major finals, while Flavio Cobolli is playing in his first Grand Slam final after never going beyond a Wimbledon quarterfinal before this run.
