“They were two different games, at the beginning it was very windy and it was difficult to play. I said to myself: fight. I had the feeling that it was the chance of my life and I did it. Now there’s a little piece missing.” This is how Flavio Cobolli commented on the qualification to his first semi-final in a Grand Slam tournament, achieved at Roland Garros.
“The chance of my life”
The blue did not hide the emotion for the finish line reached on the Parisian red clay. A victory that projects him among the best four of the tournament and represents the highest point of his young career.
“It’s the best week of my life, I’ll have to fight again,” added Cobolli, aware that the path to the final is not yet over.
Waiting to know the opponent
When asked who he would prefer to face between Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi, the Italian tennis player replied with a smile: “Now I’m going to have dinner with my friends and then I’m going to sleep. I know there will be a Matteo in the semi-final with me, good luck to both of them. I hope they will enjoy the match.”
Words that confirm the climate of enthusiasm that accompanies Italian tennis in Paris, with Cobolli protagonist of a week destined to remain in the history of his career.
