Alexander Zverev ended the long wait for a Grand Slam title and won his first major at the French Open 2026. His run was helped by Carlos Alcaraz’s injury, which forced the defending champion to pull out of the tournament, and Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic’s shock defeat earlier in the tournament. After the win at the French Open, Zverev is now ready to challenge Jannik Sinner’s No.1 ranking. It won’t be easy for Zverev, who is ranked third, to leapfrog Alcaraz and Sinner, as he is 3,000 points adrift of Alcaraz and more than 6,000 points behind Sinner.
