Will Alexander Zverev win the 2026 Men's French Open?
Alexander Zverev, seeded second at Roland Garros, has won his first two matches at the 2026 French Open without dropping a set, advancing to the third round with a milestone victory that sharpens his focus on a first major title.
Zverev defeated Benjamin Bonzi in straight sets in the opening round, then beat Tomas Machac in the second round, a win that marked his 550th tour-level victory, according to the official tournament site. The German next faces Frenchman Quentin Halys in the third round, a matchup that will test his early momentum.
Zverev entered the tournament as the second seed and has been a consistent contender at Roland Garros in recent years, reaching the semifinals or better in three of the last five editions. His path through the draw this year has opened further with the early exit of the top seed.
The second seed has spoken in previous tournaments about his desire to capture a Grand Slam title, and his early performances in Paris have sustained that narrative. The French Open, held at Roland Garros, is the year's second major and the premier clay-court championship.
