Italian player Cobolli reaches French Open semi-finals after beating Auger-Aliassime

Despite the early exit of world number one Jannik Sinner, Italy will still be represented in the French Open men's singles final. Flavio Cobolli, currently ranked 14th globally, ensured this by defeating the sixth-ranked Felix Auger-Aliassime in a hard-fought quarterfinal.

Cobolli dropped the first set to the Canadian favorite but mounted a comeback, winning the next three sets to secure his semifinal spot. The match concluded with a score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in Cobolli's favor. Auger-Aliassime's performance was marked by frequent poor decisions that complicated his own game.

Cobolli will advance to the semifinals, where he is set to face either Matteo Berrettini or Matteo Arnaldi. Both of these potential opponents are also Italian, guaranteeing a strong national presence in the latter stages of the tournament. The match between Berrettini and Arnaldi was scheduled for later on Wednesday.
