Zverev Takes First Set Against Teenager Jódar at Roland Garros

Alexander Zverev mounted a comeback from 5-2 down to win the first set 7-6 against 19-year-old Rafa Jódar in their Roland Garros quarter-final clash.

Playing in his first Roland Garros and making his debut on Court Philippe Chatrier, the fearless 19-year-old Spaniard pushed the tournament favorite early on. However, the German recovered to take the tie-break and secure the opening set.

Zverev, now the top favorite following the exits of Janik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, as well as the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, is looking to finally capture his elusive first Grand Slam title. He has previously fallen in three major finals, including the 2024 Roland Garros final. tbzikra.com
