Two good mates are putting their friendship aside on Sunday to battle for their first-ever Grand Slam tennis title at the French Open. Second seed Alexander Zverev and tenth seed Flavio Cobolli, whose friendship was established during the 2024 Laver Cup, will face each other for the third time this season. Zverev, aged 29, is considered the favorite, yet he has been defeated in his three preceding major tournament finals.
