A three-time Grand Slam runner-up previously, Zverev battled past Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5-7), 6-1 on Philippe Chatrier.
In an epic five-set thriller at Roland Garros, the German finally emerged victorious over the Italian after four hours and 16 minutes.

Prove me wrong – Alexander Zverev will win multiple Grand Slam titles now
He's finally got his first!
Alexander Zverev joins exclusive list after Roland Garros title
As per OptaAce, Zverev is now the fourth player to claim a title at all four ATP big title levels, which comprise Grand Slams, Masters 1000s, the ATP Tour Finals and the Olympics.
Just three other players – Andre Agassi, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic – are on that exclusive list.
Zverev had previously fallen short in the finals of the US Open in 2020, Roland Garros in 2024, and the Australian Open in 2025.
But he can now call himself a Grand Slam champion, while Cobolli just enjoyed his best-ever run at that level.
Alexander Zverev wins 25th ATP title at Roland Garros
Zverev’s victorious run at Roland Garros represents his first ATP title of the 2026 season, but the 25th of his stunning career.
He did, however, endure a very lengthy wait to finally get over the line on the biggest stage of all.
As per OptaAce, only Ivan Lendl (41) and Thomas Muster (29) in the Open Era have claimed more titles than Zverev en route to a maiden Grand Slam success.
Just behind him in that list are Murray and Goran Ivanisevic, both with 24.
It will matter very little to the German, who is certain to enjoy his time in the limelight following a hard-fought run in Paris.
