Zverev has had to suffer to win his first big in Paris. The German has defeated Flavio Coboli in a very equal match, which has been decided in the fifth set, where he has passed over the Italian Zverev (1-6, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6, 1-6).

The final began with the dominance of the German players, who took the first set with a five-game lead, and in the second, Cobolli responded, thus matching the match.

The game has become a contact between the two players, and neither of them has managed to get away from the score. The moment of greatest tension in the game has been the fourth set, which has reachedthe tie-break, where Cobolli has won the final by taking it to the fifth set.

In the decisive set of the match, the world's number ten tennis player has been able to do little, due to muscle problems, losing with a painful score of 1-6 to a solid Alexander Zverev.

Thus, after a four-hour game, Zverev has won his first big one, while becoming the first German player to win the Roland Garros title since Henner Henkel in 1937.
