Alexander Zverev has made a bold prediction at Roland-Garros 2025, stating that he believes Carlos Alcaraz will reach the final once again. The German star, who lost to Alcaraz in last year’s championship match, shared his thoughts after advancing to the fourth round with a convincing win over Flavio Cobolli.

Zverev acknowledged Alcaraz’s dominance on clay, pointing out that the defending champion arrived in Paris as the favorite after winning the Monte Carlo Masters and the Italian Open. Despite some fluctuating performances in the early rounds, Alcaraz has continued his title defense with determination.

Zverev noted that the lower half of the draw appears less challenging for Alcaraz, making his path to the final more straightforward. He remarked that most of the serious contenders, including himself, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic, are in the top half of the draw, meaning they will have to battle it out while Alcaraz watches from a more favorable position.
