Episode Details

Alexander Zverev finally claimed his first major title, defeating Flavio Cobolli in a four-hour, sixteen-minute epic at the French Open — ending his three-time runner-up streak and becoming the first German man to win a Grand Slam since Boris Becker in 1996. Fighting through a brutal five-set match (6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1), Zverev overcame a crowd that fueled him and a personal history of heartbreak at this very court, including a devastating 2022 injury that left him in a wheelchair. Cobolli, making his Grand Slam final debut, fought valiantly and graciously congratulated Zverev, hoping to one day bring the trophy back to Italy after 50 years. Zverev’s emotional collapse on the court after the final point captured the weight of his triumph — a hard-earned, full-circle victory born of perseverance and passion.
