Alexander Zverev missed the final of the French Open. The 26-year-old lost the semi-finals in Paris against the Norwegian Casper Ruud 3: 6, 4: 6, 0: 6. Ruud meets Novak Djoković in the final, who threw the ailing Carlos Alcaraz out of the tournament.

Despite the bankruptcy, even reaching the semifinals was a great success for Zverev, who suffered a serious ligament injury in the semifinals in Paris a year ago and then fought for his form for a long time.
