French Open 2026: Zverev to face Mensik in semifinal clash at Roland-Garros

Alexander Zverev is set to face Jakub Mensik in the men’s singles semifinals at the 2026 French Open, scheduled for Friday, June 5, at Roland-Garros. The match is slated to begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. ET, with the tournament’s unpredictable nature having significantly altered the expected trajectory of the men’s draw.

Seeded No. 2, Zverev will take on the No. 26-seeded Mensik in what promises to be a pivotal contest for the remaining two spots in the final. The early stages of the 2026 French Open have been marked by a series of upsets, leaving the semifinal bracket distinct from pre-tournament projections.

Pricing for the ad-free Standard or Premium plans begins at $18.49 per month, while bundled options involving Disney+ and Hulu offer varying tiers of service depending on ad preferences.

The Friday schedule at Roland-Garros includes additional fixtures alongside the men’s semifinal. The women’s singles semifinals are scheduled to start no earlier than 9 a.m. ET, followed by the mixed doubles final, men’s doubles semifinals, and wheelchair tennis rounds.

The tournament continues through the weekend with the women’s singles final and men’s singles final both tentatively scheduled for no earlier than 9 a.m. ET on their respective days, alongside the conclusion of junior and wheelchair tennis competitions.
