French Open 2026 Results: Zverev and Andreeva Win First Slams — What It Means for 2027

Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva won the 2026 French Open (May 24 – June 7, 2026), each claiming their first Grand Slam title. Zverev beat Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1 in the men's final; Andreeva beat qualifier Maja Chwalińska 6-3, 6-2 in the women's final.

Men's Final: Zverev Finally Breaks Through

At his fourth Grand Slam final, second-seeded Alexander Zverev ended years of near-misses with a five-set win over 10th-seeded Flavio Cobolli, whose run to the final carried him into the ATP top 10 for the first time. Zverev became the first German man to win Roland-Garros since Henner Henkel in 1937 — and the first German man to win any singles major since Boris Becker at the 1996 Australian Open.

Women's Final: Andreeva Makes History at 19

Eighth seed Mirra Andreeva, aged 19 years and 1 month, became the youngest women's champion at Roland-Garros since Monica Seles in 1992. Her opponent, Poland's Maja Chwalińska, wrote history of her own: ranked No. 114, she was the lowest-ranked French Open finalist ever and only the second qualifier in the Open Era to reach any Grand Slam final, after Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open.

The Upsets That Shaped the Tournament

• Sinner's shock exit: World No. 1 Jannik Sinner led Juan Manuel Cerúndolo 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 in the second round before cramping in the Paris heat and losing in five — his 31-match win streak gone, and the first men's top seed out before the third round at Roland-Garros since 2000.
• No Alcaraz: Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew before the tournament with a wrist injury. Between them, Alcaraz and Sinner had won nine straight majors — a streak that ended in Paris.
• Gauff's defense ends early: 2025 champion Coco Gauff fell in the third round to Anastasia Potapova, guaranteeing a first-time women's champion.
• Farewells: Stan Wawrinka and Gaël Monfils played their final French Opens and received on-court tributes.

What It Means for Roland-Garros 2027

The 2027 French Open (May 23 – June 6, 2027) is set up as one of the most open editions in years.
