Alexander Zverev has confirmed his upcoming plans after reaching the Roland Garros final.
Zverev beat Jakub Mensik 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to reach his fourth major final and second at Roland Garros.
The German is managing a lot of pressure at this year’s tournament, as Zverev is the favourite to win the Roland Garros title and claim his first Grand Slam.
Zverev will now look ahead to the Roland Garros final, but just minutes after his win over Mensik it was confirmed that he had pulled out of another tournament.
Alexander Zverev withdraws from the Stuttgart Open
Zverev was scheduled to begin his grass court season at the ATP 250 tournament in Stuttgart next week, where he finished as runner-up last year.
However, after reaching the Roland Garros final, the Stuttgart Open have confirmed Zverev’s withdrawal, alongside the player he will play to try and win his first Grand Slam title, Flavio Cobolli, and Mensik.

Although Zverev will not feature at their tournament this year, the Stuttgart Open have wished him well ahead of the Roland Garros final.
The Stuttgart (BOSS) Open wrote in a statement on Instagram, “It’s a good problem to have, but it truly hurts (crying emoji). @alexzverev123, @flavio_cobbo and @mensik.jakub won’t be playing in Stuttgart this year.
“Their great performances at @rolandgarros have taken them to the final weekend in Paris, something we’re very proud of, even if we will really miss them here!
“But of course, we’re especially rooting for Sascha on Sunday, keeping our fingers crossed as he goes all-in for the title.”
What is Alexander Zverev’s schedule for the grass court season now?
Zverev’s grass court season now looks a little bit different, as he is entered into just one tournament on the surface ahead of Wimbledon this year.
After withdrawing from the Stuttgart Open, Zverev is only scheduled to play at the Halle Open ahead of Wimbledon this year.
Wimbledon is by far Zverev’s worst-performing Grand Slam, as it is the only major tournament where he has never reached the quarter-finals.
How many major titles will Alexander Zverev retire with if he wins the 2026 French Open?
He's the favourite to win in Paris…
Zverev is unlikely to be thinking about Wimbledon at all at the moment, as he seeks his first Grand Slam title in Paris.
The men’s singles final at Roland Garros will take place on Sunday, June 7, when Zverev will take on Cobolli.
