Zverev tears down the wall to enter Grand Slam winners' circle at French Open

Alexander Zverev finally shattered the barrier between himself and Grand Slam glory by grinding down a stubborn Flavio Cobolli in the French Open final on Sunday to lift his maiden major trophy at ​Roland Garros, Reuters reported. 

After falling in three major finals, including in Paris two years ago, Zverev capped his stellar run by outlasting Cobolli 6-1 4-6 6-4 6-7(5) 6-1 to become the first German man to capture a Slam since Boris Becker's Australian Open triumph three decades ago.
