Cobolli Through to French Open Final After Arnaldi Withdraws Due to Illness
Cobolli reaches his first Grand Slam final after Arnaldi withdraws minutes before the semifinal because of a viral illness.
- On Friday, Matteo Arnaldi withdrew from his French Open semi-final against Flavio Cobolli just 25 minutes before the match, conceding a walkover after an announcement that he was suffering from a virus.
- The 25-year-old Arnaldi reported feeling unwell overnight, stating he 'can't move, can't eat and can't drink' after severe vomiting began at 1am. He attempted to prepare but felt too dizzy to compete.
- Unseeded Arnaldi reached the last four after spending 19 hours and 42 minutes on court over two weeks, marking the longest route taken by any men's player to a Grand Slam semi-final since 1991.
- Cobolli, a close friend and Davis Cup teammate, expressed deep sadness, saying 'when he came to me an hour ago I almost cried,' while advancing to Sunday's final against Alexander Zverev.
- Alexander Zverev secured his final spot after defeating Czech Jakub Mensik in four sets on Court Philippe-Chatrier, describing the match as his 'toughest challenge' yet after overcoming a third-set setback.
