Weekend Tennis Roundup

 

As random as this year's French Open was, at least two known quantities -- Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva -- wound up winning. Full report plus all the ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW.


His ass is grass ...


Alexander Zverev defeated Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1 in a four-hour, 16-minute thriller to win the 2026 French Open men's singles title on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The victory marked the Slavic German second seed's first career Grand Slam title after three previous final defeats.


As a stranger put in so eloquently on Threads: Just goes to show you that if you never stop believing in yourself, and all the other top players are injured, old or beaten by someone else, and you didn't face any Top 10 players in the draw, you can finally eke out a major title


Mirra Andreeva defeated Maja Chwalińska 6–3, 6–2 to win the women’s singles title. The 19-year-old Andreeva captured her maiden Grand Slam trophy in her first major final, becoming the youngest woman to win the French Open since Monica Seles in 1992.


I was thrilled to see her capitalize on Aryna Sabalenka's shocking mental collapse, letting a set and double-break lead slip away by committing 57 unforced errors in a dramatic 3–6, 7–5, 6–0 loss to 25th seed Diana Shnaider -- who then got completely outfoxed by the unheralded Pole in the semis.


Top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos successfully defended their Roland Garros men's doubles title, defeating Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten 6-4, 6-2 in the final. The Spanish-Argentine pair won the 77-minute match in Paris without dropping a single set throughout the entire tournament.


Taylor Townsend and Kateřina Siniaková won the women's doubles title, defeating the second-seeded pairing of Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunić 6-2, 7-5 in the final.



And the Italian duo of Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori won the mixed doubles final, defeating Gabriela Dabrowski and Evan King 4-6, 6-3, [10-4] on Court Philippe-Chatrier to successfully defend their crown.


Kind words from the GOAT


Although Henry Patten came up short in the men's doubles final, he and Harri Heliövaara rise to No. 1 in the rankings with their runner-up performance


Matteo Berrettini looked like his old self ... until he looked like his more recent self
