Alexander Zverev def. Jakub Mensik 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 — French Open 2026 Semifinal

Match recap

Alexander Zverev defeated Jakub Mensik 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in the Semifinal of the French Open 2026.

Three hours and one momentum reversal weren't enough to derail Zverev, who took the conversions that Mensik couldn't — 4 of 7 break points to 1 of 4. The Czech threw the lone wobble back, leveling with a 6-3 third after Zverev had cruised through a 6-2 second, but the German's serve was the steadier asset across 181 minutes: 75% first balls in, eight aces to four, and just two double faults to Mensik's five. Zverev's 50% on second-serve return points kept the pressure constant, and he closed 6-3 to move to 2-0 in the rivalry.
