French Open: Alexander Zverev in the place of his life to win a grand slam

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner mixed Carlos Alcaraz have just been even tougher and devoured grand slam championships from other stars of the sport.

Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev apart from these megastars, are the only male players who have been able to win a singles match at a major tournament (US Open 2020 and 2021) in the last nine years.

Let’s saythat sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good, which is perfectly true for Zverev at this year’s French Open.

The 29-year-old German has knocked his opponents upside down with routine performances on the mass courts in Paris and has lost only two sets in a total of six matches on the way to the final.

Although Friday’s semi-final in the Czech Republic Jakub Menšíkiä against lasted three hours and one minute, Zverev stayed on the neck practically from start to finish and hit the final scores 7–5, 6–2, 3–6, 6–3.

While his own game has progressed, Zverev has been able to watch how the other early favorites have fallen out of the tournament one after the other.

The number one in the world ranking, Sinner, melted down in a historically brutal way in the second round: he lost Juan Manuel Cerúndololle after leading the set 2–0 and the third set 5–1.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz could not participate at all due to injury, and old champion Đoković also knelt to the 19-year-old João Fonsecalle.

The top diagram the finalist could have been the unranked surprise Matteo Arnaldibut he got sick the night before Friday.

“I woke up at one o’clock in the morning and started vomiting. I couldn’t sleep at all and I vomited again at six to seven,” the disappointed Italian told the media conference.

So Arnaldi’s compatriot Flavio Cobolliseeded tenth, will look to continue Zverev’s losing streak in grand slam finals.

Although Cobolli, 24, will play by far the biggest match of his career on Sunday, he was so upset for Arnaldi that it was difficult for him to speak.

“When Matteo told me about an hour ago, I almost cried. Of course, I’m still happy with what I’ve done this week.”

Women’s the singles climax of the Russian Mirra Andrejevan and Poland’s big surprise Maja Chwalińska sometimes there is Saturday’s main event at the French Open, although the men’s doubles final is of most interest in Finland.

Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten ensured in the semi-finals on Thursday that they will become number one in the world rankings on Monday.

The final match opposition of the Finnish-British pair is very possible, because Argentina Horacio Zeballos and Spain Marcel Granollers are the reigning champions and the tournament’s number one ranked pair.

Zeballos and Granollers earned their place in the finals on Friday when they defeated the Italian duo Simone Bolelli / Andrea Vavassorin score 7–6 (7–4), 6–4.
