Bjorn Borg to present French Open trophy

A double victory on the French and German fronts. Alexander Zverev finally broke the semifinal taboo at Roland Garros by pushing all the way to the final act of the tournament in this edition, after no less than three unsuccessful attempts.

On Sunday starting at 3 p.m. Sascha will play it all in the final against Carlos Alcaraz, in which he starts as a slight underdog mainly because of the several more hours he spent on court than his opponent.

An affirmation of sorts soon came, meanwhile, from the district court in Tiergarten. Lawyers for the Hamburg player reached an out-of-court settlement with ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea, who accused the athlete of being pushed against a wall and choked with both hands in May 2020 after a heated argument.
