Roland Garros 2026 has offered a mix of emotions that are hard to digest in a short time, making it worth analyzing in depth what the main conclusions are after the second Grand Slam of the season, where Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva emerged as champions.
Every Grand Slam leaves a significant emotional aftermath on tennis fans. The tennis orgy, uncontrollable emotions, positive surprises, and disappointments must be analyzed with care in order to draw a series of conclusions that could shape the future of both circuits in the upcoming dates. Now comes the grass court season, where for better or for worse, everything that happened in Roland Garros 2026 will be very present.
What conclusions does Roland Garros 2026 leave?
1. Alexander Zverev, the well-deserved reward for a lifetime
The lifelong goal has been accomplished. Zverev managed to defeat his own demons and come out unscathed from a memorable battle against Cobolli, where he was crowned as a deserving Grand Slam champion. Many years have passed bumping into an impregnable wall time and time again, but his career enters a new stage with this success.
2. Flavio Cobolli discovers a new paradigm
An abrupt and well-deserved quality leap for the Italian player, who left his soul in the final and perfectly seized the tournament's context to bring all his credentials as a great player to the table. He is young, ambitious, and has room for improvement in many aspects, so this tournament could be a turning point for him.
3. An exciting generation starts to break molds
Tennis is in luck. More and more young players seem destined for short and medium-term glory, raising their competitive level with diverse styles, providing many incentives for fans. Rafa Jódar showed that he is a special player, Joao Fonseca proved to be a rising star, Jakub Mensik seems ready to conquer great heights of success, and Moise Kouame, looking more long-term, thrilled the entire tennis world.

4. Jannik Sinner and a difficult-to-interpret misstep
It cannot be understood, no matter how you look at it. What happened to Sinner against Juanma Cerúndolo will always be one of those indiscernible enigmas in the history of tennis. For a player like him not to win another game and end up dragging himself on the court in that way, denying it was heatstroke and attributing it to a lack of energy, caused a seismic impact on the tournament.
5. Novak Djokovic, unsettling signs
Djokovic still competing is a gift from the gods for all fans, and nothing can be demanded or asked of the Serbian. However, it is evident that he is finding it increasingly difficult to sustain efforts and be competitive in these events. Wimbledon 2026 could become a sort of ultimatum for him.
6. Mirra Andreeva lays the foundation for an exciting legacy
At only 19 years old, the Russian has managed to convey a sense of infinite maturity and demonstrate to the world that her role as a rising star was more than deserved. Her entire season is an ode to consistency and the ability to adapt to the changing conditions of Paris, coming out unscathed from the massive fall of favorites, which is a great endorsement for her career.

7. Maja Chwalinska revolutionizes the tennis world
An exciting story of overcoming obstacles is what this Polish player has starred in, going from world No. 114 to reaching the final after three weeks of showing competitive intelligence and delivering lessons to all her rivals, proving that tennis can be played in many ways and hers is as genuine as it is effective.
8. Aryna Sabalenka raises alarm bells
Since achieving that historic Sunshine Double, the Belarusian hasn't been the same. The entire clay court season has been a struggle for her, and, more worryingly, she appears very nervous on the court and lacking solutions to various challenges. Losing in the quarters to Shnaider was tough, but even more so was the way it happened.

9. The unexpected inconsistency of the top players
Much was expected from players like Rybakina, Gauff, Swiatek, or Svitolina, but none of them performed as expected. Especially glaring is the case of the Polish player, who is still finding herself after substantial tactical changes, while Cori has lost focus in her tennis.
10. Marta Kostyuk knocks on the door with increasing strength
The Ukrainian seems more and more prepared to take a definitive leap in quality that allows her to establish herself among the best and fight recurrently for grand titles. She arrived undefeated in the clay court season's semifinals, where Andreeva prevailed over her, something that does not overshadow her excellent level and an inexorable upward trend.
