  • The title ends Zverev’s run of three previous major final losses and makes him the first German man to win Roland Garros in the Open Era.
  • Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers won the men’s doubles final 6-4, 6-2, securing their third Grand Slam together and extending Zeballos’s place as Argentina’s leading doubles player.
