The Italian defeated Zverev to reach the final at the ATP 500 in Munich and broke down in tears as soon as the match ended, remembering the passing of a friend.
Alexander Zverev is going through a tough time when he reaches the final rounds. The German has suffered a worrying streak of losses in semifinals over the past months, consistently falling short of contending for the title. He has only won 1 out of his last 10 semifinals in an ATP tournament. Since his lone victory against Musetti in Vienna, Zverev has been defeated in semifinals by opponents of all kinds: Cobolli in Munich, Sinner in Monte Carlo, Miami, Indian Wells, and Paris, Alcaraz in the Australian Open and Cincinnati, Khachanov in Toronto, and Medvedev in Halle. A trend that reflects the German's struggles to take the final step in major tournaments.

Great surprise delivered by Flavio Cobolli in the semifinals of the ATP 500 Munich. The Italian played one of the best matches of his career to defeat Alexander Zverev (6-3, 6-3) convincingly. The German, who was the favorite to win the title at home, could do nothing against an extraordinary Cobolli who hit 32 winners in just over 1 hour of play. The Italian will play the fifth final of his career tomorrow and causes another disappointment for Zverev, who is still without lifting a trophy in 2026.

Andrey Rublev is the first finalist of the ATP 500 Barcelona Open 2026. The Russian turned around a match that had been tough against Hamad Medjedovic to end up winning 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 in a two-hour match. Rublev thus reaches his first final of the year, rediscovering his game after a rather irregular start to the season. Medjedovic, who finished with physical problems, bids farewell to Barcelona with all honors after the best week of his career. The Russian will face Fils or Jódar for the title.

Completely thrilled. That's how Flavio Cobolli looked after defeating Alexander Zverev in the semifinals of the ATP 500 in Munich. The Italian played one of the best matches of his career to beat the German in his own home and secure his fifth ATP final, the fourth in a 500 series. Cobolli sat on the bench completely thrilled after the match, covering himself with a towel to dry his tears after a simply spectacular game. The reason behind these tears could be the recent passing of a close friend.
Cobolli crying like crazy after playing the best match of his life.

With several key absences, such as Djokovic and Alcaraz, and the uncertainty surrounding Sinner, the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most open Masters 1000 in recent years.
The potential Carlos Alcaraz's gear for Roland Garros 2026 has been revealed. The brand of the player from Murcia has opted for a purple tone this time. The leak comes at a delicate moment for the Spanish player, who is recovering from a right wrist injury that forced him to retire in Barcelona and withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open. With Roland Garros as his main goal, Alcaraz is now focusing all his efforts on arriving in top condition at the Paris Grand Slam, where he is the defending champion.

Juan Martín del Potro has analyzed the situation of Jack Draper, marked by injuries in recent months, and has provided a clear reflection on what it means to live with physical problems in professional tennis. "The body can be the worst enemy of a career, as was my case," pointed out the Argentine. "Draper has talent and is trying to regain self-confidence, but the body must respond to maximum demand every week." Del Potro also emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with a good team: "Having a tennis coach is not enough; you need a physical trainer, physiotherapist, and mental support."

The debate over the distribution of the prize money returns to the spotlight following statements made by John Isner on the podcast Nothing Major Show. The American compared his prize as the champion of the 2018 Miami Open with that of Jannik Sinner in 2026, leaving a strong reflection. “When I won in Miami in 2018, I earned more money than Sinner did this year. In the Masters 1000, they have distributed the total prize money more, but the champion's share is about $200,000 less. It's crazy, it's absurd,” stated the former tennis player. Although the overall amount has increased, the percentage allocated to the winner has decreased, a trend that continues to generate debate within the circuit.
