Match recap

Alexander Zverev defeated Jesper De Jong 7(7)-6(3), 6-4, 6-1 in the R16 of the French Open 2026.

The return game decided it. Alexander Zverev converted 4 of 7 break points while holding Jesper De Jong to a single break in two chances, the kind of margin that doesn't show up in a tidy ace count (4 to 3). De Jong's four double faults didn't help under that pressure. Zverev moves into the Roland-Garros quarterfinals.
