Alexander Zverev reaches the French Open final after defeating 19-year-old Jakub Menšík in a four-set semi-final. The German wins 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, securing his place in his fourth Grand Slam final. Both outlets report that the match includes a strong performance by Zverev after dropping the third set, as he responds to Menšík’s resurgence and closes the contest in the fourth set. Menšík, a first-time Grand Slam semi-finalist, reaches the last four by overturning expectations but is unable to stop Zverev from taking the overall match. The result places Zverev one match away from what multiple sources describe as his first major singles title. At 29, Zverev has previously lost his prior three Grand Slam finals, and the latest win means he enters the final as a clear favorite.
