How much prize money did Alexander Zverev win at the 2026 French Open?
The German tennis star clinched his first Grand Slam title with an astonishing victory against Flavio Cobolli.
Zverev made history on Sunday, winning his first Grand Slam title in extraordinary fashion at the 2026 French Open.
The German tennis sensation won the first set without breaking a sweat 6-1. Cobolli came back to win the second set 6-4 and the back and forth continued in the third set with Zverev winning 6-4.
