Flavio Cobolli beats Zachary Svajda in four sets and enters the quarterfinals of Roland Garros. The Italian won in three hours and 19 minutes with a score of 6-2, 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 and is preparing to face the winner between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Tabilo. A match that the blue had in hand and which became more complicated along the way. Especially in the fourth set when Cobolli was ahead 5-1 with two breaks, before suffering a comeback. Then the tie-break success.

“Today I understood that the matches are never over. At the end there was a bit of tension and I will have to recover for the quarterfinals. This is my favorite Slam, I love playing on clay and the crowd helped me a lot to close the match.” These are Flavio Cobolli’s first words after the victory. “Part of the team is part of the Federation and I have to thank everyone for the opportunities they give me to play tennis – he added -. I wish Berrettini and Arnaldi good luck.” Closing on the Champions League final the other day: “I think I’m the number one football fan on the tour, I couldn’t sleep the other night and I congratulate PSG, but watch out next year because Roma will also be there”, he concluded jokingly.
