A roster of Gen Z tennis players dominated the French Open. Across men’s and women’s matches, teens and barely-twentysomethings stacked up wins. Mirra Andreeva, 19-years-old, won the women’s singles, making her the youngest French Open winner in over 30 years. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have been the top young tennis stars, but this year, both were out of commission for the tournament. Instead, three players under 21-years-old had all eyes on them—Brazilian 19-year-old Joao Fonseca, Czechian 20-year-old Jakub Mensik, and Spanish 19-year-old Rafael Jodar—though 29-year-old Alexander Zverev took home the singles’ title.
