French Open.<\/p>\n<p>World No 3 Zverev is widely considered to be one of the best players not to win a Grand Slam, but he is one win away from securing an elusive maiden major title.<\/p>\n<p>In what promises to be a career-defining match for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a>, he will face world No 14 Flavio Cobolli in the championship match at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\">Roland Garros<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old German holds a 0-3 record in Grand Slam finals, while Cobolli will be competing in his first-ever major title match.<\/p>\n<p>In his column for French newspaper <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lequipe.fr\/Tennis\/Article\/L-oeil-de-mats-wilander-sur-le-nouveau-jeu-d-alexander-zverev-sinner-et-alcaraz-pourraient-avoir-interet-a-faire-attention\/1682476\" target=\"_blank\">L\u2019Equipe<\/a>, Wilander lauded Zverev for implementing a more aggressive playing style in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil recently, the way Sascha Zverev won most of his points was: forehand down the court, then I\u2019d make the difference with the backhand,\u201d said the seven-time Grand Slam winner.<\/p>\n<h2>French Open News<\/h2>\n<p><a

But basically, when the ball was in play, he ended up winning because he didn\u2019t miss with his forehand and, ultimately, his backhand was just too good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that\u2019s changed. Suddenly, he\u2019s winning points in different ways. And to be able to do that, you have to be really flexible mentally. You have to really want to win, more than people realise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause when you change, it\u2019s so easy for your mind to drift and think, \u2018Yeah, I know I should do this, but I don\u2019t really feel it anymore.\u2019 And he seems to feel it. He really does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the French Open, Alcaraz and Sinner had won the last nine majors between them since the start of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Wilander, a former world No 1, went on to make the bold claim that Zverev could form a new \u2018Big Three\u2019 with Alcaraz and Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJannik and Carlitos might want to be careful,\u201d assessed the Swede.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Zverev) is so strong and solid that if he\u2019s able to integrate these changes and implement everything, with that serve on top of that, he\u2019s going to be very difficult to beat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we could soon start talking about a Big Three, where he would definitely have a place. If he wins this Sunday, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if he wins five or six more (Grand Slams).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-accused-jumping-gun-carlos-alcaraz-novak-djokovic\">Alexander Zverev accused of \u2018jumping the gun\u2019 with Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic claim<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roland Garros: \u2018Sinner and Alcaraz need to be careful \u2013 Zverev could win 5 or 6 more Grand Slams\u2019 Ewan West 07 Jun 2026 10:07 AM Alexander Zverev with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz inset Tennis legend Mats Wilander has sent a warning to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz about what could happen if Alexander [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1977100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1977100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1977100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1977100\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1977100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1977100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1977100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
