Flavio Cobolli in 2026 French Open Semifinal: In the French Open 2026, 24-year-old young Italian player Flavio Coboli has performed brilliantly and has reached the semi-finals of this tournament for the first time. Koboli defeated Felix of Canada in the men’s singles quarterfinals of the French Open to book himself into the semi-finals. He made it to the last four by defeating the Canadian player 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the match.

Great comeback after a bad start

The start of the match was not good for Koboli. He lost the first set 4-6. After this, he made a brilliant comeback and won the match by winning three consecutive sets. This win is one of the biggest achievements of his career, as he has reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.

The best week of my life – Flavio Coboli

After the match Koboli said that it had been the best week of his life. He told that it was very difficult to play in the first set due to strong wind. Later, after the roof of the court was closed, the circumstances changed and he got a chance to play his game in a better way. Koboli said that he told himself that this could be the biggest opportunity of his life, so he had to fight with all his might.

Koboli looked very confident throughout the match. His forehand shots and fast movement on the court kept Auger-Aliassime under constant pressure. He played brilliantly even on important points and this became a major reason for his victory.

Became the number 10 player

This victory has also affected the world ranking. He was world No. 14 at the start of the tournament, but has now moved up to No. 10 in the live rankings, his best ranking so far in his career. Now if the rest of the results remain in his favor, he can officially be included in the top-10 players for the first time.

Koboli will face a player from his own country in the semi-finals. The winner of the quarter-final clash between Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnoldi will face Cobolli in the semi-finals. This will be only the third time when two Italian players will participate in the semi-finals of a major tournament. Earlier in 1960, Nicola Pietrangeli and Orlando Sirola had reached the semi-finals at the French Open, while last year Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti had made it to the semi-finals together.

With Koboli’s victory, another big record has also been made. This is the first time an all-Italian semi-final has been ensured at a men’s Grand Slam tournament. Along with this, it has also been decided that this time a player from Italy will participate in the final of the men’s category. Italy has been waiting for the French Open men’s title for a long time. The last time Adriano Panatta won the Roland Garros title was in 1976.

Koboli is now just two wins away from achieving the historic feat. Before the semi-finals, Koboli said he would follow his normal routine, have dinner with friends and rest. He also wished his fellow Italian players good luck and said that he hoped that the second quarter-final match would also be great. with AJC input
