Slam curse over Zverev hopes his first major title opens the floodgates A LEXANDER ZVEREV said he hopes winning his first Grand Slam crown at the French Open will unblock the path to more major titles after years of near-misses and heartbreak on the big gest stage.

Promising future for Cobolli

FLAVIO COBOLLI left everything on Court Philippe Chatrier as he chased a first Grand Slam title on Sunday, but the Italian admitted the pressure of playing on the biggest stage ulti mately proved decisive in a heart breaking defeat. The 24-year-old arrived at Roland Garros having never gone beyond the quarterfinals of a major tourna ment and left it as a Grand Slam run ner-up, his reputation transformed despite falling one match short of the title. “Of course I have a very different level of self-belief and awareness compared to when I started this tour nament,” he told reporters after los ing to Alexander Zverev. “But I think the goals are still the same.” Those goals now include qualify ing for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, a target Cobolli revealed had been set before the claycourt major began. “We’ve set ourselves a goal that I don’t want to tell you yet… actually, it’s Turin. That has been the objective since the start of the year,” said Cobolli, who moved up to fourth place in the Race to Turin. “We’re working to get there. It’s very difficult because only eight play ers make it, but with the level I’ve shown over these weeks, and with all

the work my team does behind the scenes, I’m sure I’ll get there.” Cobolli came within touching dis tance of taking a two-sets-to-one lead but believes a missed opportu nity late in the third set altered the course of the contest. “The biggest regret? Yes, that game at the end of the third set changed everything,” he said. “But, as I said before, I’m not used to this kind of pressure yet. I felt I was close, and in the important moments maybe I rushed a little. That’s what hurt me. But you learn from those decisions.” The Italian had spent the previous fortnight playing with freedom and confidence, but the magnitude of the occasion hit him from the moment he woke up on Sunday morning. As painful as the defeat was, Cobolli preferred to focus on what had been gained rather than what had slipped away. “At the end of the day they’ll hug me because we’ve played a Grand Slam final, and nobody can take that away from us,” he said. “As I said during the ceremony, this match has to be taken with a smile. We all gave everything. I have no regrets, so I can be calm and keep moving forward.” – Reuters

titles less burdensome, mentally. “For sure this trophy helps the belief a lot,” he said. “That does give me some freedom. It does give me some – maybe my mind will just be a little bit calmer when I play a final, meaning that even if I lose it, I will still be a Grand Slam champion. “I think this trophy for me is very important, because if I would have lost this one, the self-belief would have gone down a lot. But now that I’ve won it, I feel like I can do it again.” However, Zverev admitted that the favourite tag he had seemed to carry serenely through most of the tour nament did weigh on him during the final against world No. 14 Cobolli. “I was just very tight today. I honestly feel like I’ve managed the last two weeks extremely well, because with all the losses that

Zverev broke his major drought at the fourth time of asking by beating Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1 in the Roland Garros final on Sunday. After painful past defeats in the title-matches at the 2020 US Open, Roland Garros in 2024 and last year’s Australian Open, Zverev was considered by many to be the best player never to have won a Grand Slam. The 29-year-old joked it was “fine” if people now

happened early on with Jannik (Sinner) going out, with Novak (Djokovic) going out, I managed to stay com posed, I managed to stay calm in my mind,” he said. “But then today I feel like I didn’t manage so well.” Zverev revealed he experienced “mental cramps” during the match, but in the end they helped him get over the line after four hours and 16 minutes of battle on Court Philippe Chatrier. “I was a lot more nervous, which at some stage is also human, I think. That’s why I say the cramps helped me in a way, because my mind let go,” he explained. “I started swinging more freely. I started hitting the ball a bit more aggressive. All of that, you know, that’s because of the cramps. I couldn’t focus on being tight anymore. I had to kind of let go. That’s

consider him “the worst player to win a Grand Slam” but that he “could not care less”. “Now no matter what

happens, I will always be a Grand Slam champion, and nobody can take that away from me,” Zverev added. “To be honest, I’m a little bit

Williams sees no pressure to win “WELL, why not?” Serena Williams said she is putting no pressure on her self to win as she mounts a career comeback this week, with the 44 year-old American who once domi nated her sport returning to competi tion for the first time in nearly four years. than most people have in their whole lives,” Williams said yesterday. “It’s important that I keep reminding myself of that because I don’t have anything to prove. I don’t have any thing to lose. And everything here is just a gain.”

decided whether she will compete in singles. “I just kept talking, and talking, and then, I was like,‘Well, why not?’for lack of a better explanation.” Her return to the court sees her unite with up-and-coming talent Mboko, who was born seven years after Williams picked up her first major singles title at the US Open and grew up idolizing the American tennis icon. “She could probably take years off and when she steps on the court she could probably find that rhythm again and find her timing. So, I think that’s really a God-given gift she has,” said Mboko. “She’s ready to go.” – Reuters

Williams, who won the last of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles in 2017, told reporters in London that she had had a change of heart since shooting down earlier reports of a return. “It was just talking to a few people and just chatting about different pos sibilities of just having fun. You know, something a little bit different,” said Williams, who said she has not yet
