Alexander Zverev finally shattered the barrier between himself and Grand Slam glory by grinding down a stubborn Flavio Cobolli in the French Open final on Sunday to lift his maiden major trophy at Roland Garros, Reuters reported.
After falling in three major finals, including in Paris two years ago, Zverev capped his stellar run by outlasting Cobolli 6-1 4-6 6-4 6-7(5) 6-1 to become the first German man to capture a Slam since Boris Becker's Australian Open triumph three decades ago.
