Final day at Roland Garros. The Paris tournament ends on Sunday June 9, headlined by the men’s final between Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz (from 2:30 p.m., live on France 2 and france.tv). It will also be an opportunity to meet Jasmine Paolini and Coco Gauff, opposed in the ladies’ doubles final.
Alcaraz and Zverev for a first coronation in Paris
The Philippe Chatrier court is hosting a unique final this Sunday as Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will experience their first final at Porte d’Auteuil. To get to this stage, the two players put up some great fights in the semi-final. Carlos Alcaraz dismissed the future world No. 1, Jannik Sinner, in five sets, while the German won against Casper Ruud (world No. 7) in four sets.
Between the two players, the advantage goes to Alexander Zverev. In nine meetings, he beat the world number 3 five times (including two victories to one in the Grand Slam). In the event of victory, the German could also win, at 27, his first Major title, while the Spaniard already has two.
Jasmine Paolini fails a second time in the final
Jasmine Paolini hoped to be crowned this time at Roland Garros. Swept by Iga Swiatek during the ladies’ final on Saturday, the Italian found herself in the final, in doubles, with her compatriot Sara Errani. World number 11, the Italians suffered the law of the Gauff-Siniakova pair, world number 5, 7-6, 6-3.
Double winner on the Parisian ocher with Barbora Krejcikova in 2018 and 2021, Katerina Siniakova thus adds a third title to her list of achievements.
The Forget-Leconte pair wins the Tournament of Legends
In a duel between Frenchmen, the Guy Forget-Henri Leconte pair had the last word against the Mansour Bahrami-Cédric Pioline duo. In a balanced match in three sets (6-3, 6-7, 10-8), the former tournament director and his teammate won in 1 hour 20 minutes.
