Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev both will be seeking a first French Open championship when they play each other in the final at Court Philippe Chatrier.

Alcaraz heads into the match Sunday on the red clay with two Grand Slam trophies already. He won the US Open on hard courts in 2022 and Wimbledon on grass last year.

Zverev, a 27-year-old from Germany, is trying to win his first Slam title. He was the runner-up at the 2020 US Open and bowed out in the semifinals in Paris each of the past three years. Hours before he won his semi-final this time, on Friday, word emerged from a Berlin district court that an out-of-court settlement had ended a trial stemming from an former girlfriend's accusation of assault during a 2020 argument.

Zverev leads the head-to-head series against Alcaraz 5-4. The match is scheduled to start a little after 2:30 pm local time (6:00 pm IST).
