French Open Day 15 - Zverev wins, but polarises

Description

Catherine, David and Matt convene at Roland Garros for one last time in 2026 after Alexander Zverev won his first Grand Slam title, beating Flavio Cobolli in a five-set struggle. Part one - Our review of the final including both players’ nerves, how Zverev said his cramps helped him to ‘let go’, and whether Cobolli will have any regrets. Part two (26:07) - We discuss what it all means. Will Cobolli make it back to a major final? And will breaking his major duck change Zverev’s status in the sport? Part three (42:07) - We cover Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend winning the women’s doubles title before looking ahead to the grass court season, including the return of Serena Williams in doubles at Queen’s.Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
