Title favourite Alexander Zverev is one win away from elusive maiden Grand Slam title after holding his nerve to beat Jakub Mensik in the French Open semi-finals. <\/b><\/p>\n

The second seed is through to his fourth major final and his second at Roland Garros, having lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets in 2024.<\/p>\n

Taken to a fourth set for only the second time in the tournament, Zverev kept his composure to win 7-5 6-2 3-6 6-3 against first-time Grand Slam semi-finalist and 26th seed Mensik. <\/p>\n

Zverev, who has been the front-runner to lift the Coupe des Mousquetaires since world number one Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic suffered shock exits in the first week, will face either 10th seed Flavio Cobolli or Matteo Arnaldi in Sunday’s final. <\/p>\n

Should he win, the 29-year-old will be the seventh oldest first-time Grand Slam men’s singles champion in the Open era and the first German man to win a major since Michael Stich won Wimbledon in 1991.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
