On a sunny Sunday in Paris, German tennis player Alexander Zverev finally achieved the milestone that had eluded him for years, winning his first Grand Slam title by defeating Italian Flavio Cobolli in a five-set Roland Garros final.
It was the moment Zverev had spent years chasing. Once regarded as one of tennis's brightest stars, the 29-year-old had long been labelled the best player of his generation never to win a major championship. His French Open victory appeared to complete a journey that included Olympic gold, multiple ATP Finals titles and years spent among the ATP Top 10.
