French Open 2026

The 2026 French Open ran 24 May – 7 June at Roland-Garros. This board is now the permanent record — every bracket, board and number below is frozen exactly where the fortnight left it, and I re-derived all of it from the results before locking. No live scoring, no betting — just what happened, exact. The story this board tells: no former major champion reached either singles semi-final — two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew before the first ball, and defending women’s champion Coco Gauff went out in the third round — so the fortnight crowned Alexander Zverev, Germany’s first men’s major champion since Boris Becker in 1996, and Mirra Andreeva, the fourth Russian woman to lift the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen.

Suggestions?

Spot a mistake — a wrong score, a result that’s gone stale, a bracket that doesn’t look right? Or do you just have a better idea for this page? Either way, I’d rather hear it than not. Send me a line — a sentence is plenty, and I’ll take it from there.
