Did Alexander Zverev say something surprising to Flavio Cobolli after knocking him out of the French Open?
Alexander Zverev maintained his hopes of winning his first Grand Slam championship after defeating Flavio Cobolli in a successful performance. Carlos Alcaraz has pushed Zverev out of second place in the ATP global rankings, forcing him to make a slight reset in recent months. However, the German star appears to be in excellent condition at the French Open, winning 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 in straight sets. Zverev is set to face Tallon Griekspoor, a Dutch performer, and he appears to be improving his game in preparation for the more important games. Zverev was quite sporty at the conclusion of the match against Italian sensation Cobolli, and the two players shared a pleasant moment. While Zverev may advance to the following round, Cobolli will feel proud of himself for making it to the third round of a Grand Slam. The two embraced each other warmly at the net after the match, and Zverev has revealed what he told the world number 26 after defeating him. 'Congratulations on everything you have done this year. You will do much more,' said Zverev to his adversary, as per commentator Nick Mullins on TNT Sports.

Meanwhile, commentator Miles McClagen said that hewas extremely pleased with Zverev's performance. 'I do think he is almost unstoppable when he is playing the right way on good form and can match anybody in the world,' McClagen stated. His excellent performance in the first set may have undermined Cobolli's confidence that he could have an influence here, the commentator added. Zverev will return to the court on Monday and he will undoubtedly put his best foot forward to ensure that he enters the last eight round.

Zverev sees off Cobolli to reach French Open fourth round as usual
PARIS :Alexander Zverev continued his consistent form at the French Open when he overcame Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-2 7-6(4) 6-1 on Saturday to reach the fourth round of Roland Garros for an eighth consecutive year. Zverev, who is eyeing an elusive maiden Grand Slam title after making three finals including in Paris last year, broke in the first game on Court Philippe Chatrier and barely put a foot wrong all match. "This court is special to me. Some of the best memories of my life are on this court and some of the worst memories of my life are on this court," Zverev said. "It's a love story that has not yet had a happy ending. I hope the love story continues." After losing the opening set, Hamburg champion Cobolli's seven-match win streak looked in more danger when he lost a see-sawing second set in a tiebreak, as grey clouds over the court gave way to bright sunshine and made conditions challenging. "I was very hot at some point, but he started playing incredible tennis and not missing any balls," said Zverev, who next faces Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor. "He probably should have won the second set. But I won it and I then had a little mental advantage." Zverev placed an ice pack on his head during a changeover early in the third set and the 28-year-old appeared in a hurry to wrap up the match as he broke in the fourth game, leaving Cobolli with a mountain to climb. There was no stopping Zverev, as the German cranked up his thunderous serve to prevail on his fourth matchpoint, before he embraced his opponent.
