Overview
- Alexander Zverev, who won the final on Sunday, beat Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1 in a four-hour, 16-minute match to claim his first Grand Slam title.
- Flavio Cobolli reached his first major final after Matteo Arnaldi withdrew from their semi-final with a viral illness, and he pushed Zverev to five sets before fading in the decider.
- The tournament draw was materially reshaped before and during the fortnight after Carlos Alcaraz withdrew with a wrist issue and top seeds Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic exited early, opening a clearer path for Zverev.
- Multiple outlets reported prize money figures of about £2.4 million for the champion and £1.2 million for the runner-up, with those amounts described in coverage as reported figures.
- Zverev’s win closes a long chapter in his career—he had lost three previous major finals and suffered a season-ending ankle injury at Roland-Garros in 2022—and secures a major title that will reshape his legacy and ranking outlook.
