Cobolli Survives Tiebreak Thriller to Reach French Open Quarter-Finals

The 24-year-old Italian showed grit to outlast Zachary Svajda and cement his status as one of the highest remaining seeds in Paris.

Overview

  • Flavio Cobolli defeated unseeded American Zachary Svajda 6-2, 6-3, 6-7(3), 7-6(5) to advance to the French Open quarter-finals.
  • The match lasted about three hours and 21 minutes and featured two tiebreaks, with Svajda twice saving match points before Cobolli closed the final breaker.
  • Cobolli dropped his first set of the tournament after entering the match having not yet lost a set in Paris.
  • The 24-year-old reached a Grand Slam quarter-final for only the second time in his career, matching last year’s run to the last eight at Wimbledon.
  • Cobolli will next face either fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime or unseeded Alejandro Tabilo, a result that will shape which player emerges from that quarter of the draw.
