Flavio Cobolli reaches his first Grand Slam semi-final at the French Open after defeating fourth seed Félix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals. Cobolli, seeded 10th, wins 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, overcoming a set and a break down to complete the comeback. The result guarantees that at least one Italian player will feature in the men’s final on Sunday. It also sets up the possibility of a historic all-Italian semi-final in the half of the draw where Jannik Sinner had been considered the leading contender. Cobolli’s opponent in the semi-final is set to come from the remaining match in that half, between Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi, which is due to be played in the Wednesday night session. Across both reports, the focus is on Cobolli’s first major last-four appearance, the straight-forward path to the semi-final after a multi-set recovery, and the Italian storyline created by the quarter-final outcome.
