Carlos Alcaraz has taken the first set 6-3 in the French Open final at Roland Garros against Alexander Zverev. The World No. 3 demonstrated his explosive ball-striking power and variety, which proved too much for Zverev. Alcaraz managed to break Zverev multiple times in the first set, a feat he struggled with in their previous encounter in Australia. Despite Zverev's efforts to stay in the game, including holding serve from 15-40, Alcaraz's forehand and returns were decisive. Alcaraz is currently favored to win the tournament with odds of -700 according to DK Sportsbook. The match is being broadcast on NBC and @peacock.
