Cobolli and co left surveying wreckage as men’s seeds keep falling in…

Second major of the year is wide open after exits of Sinner and Djokovic, paving way for a first-time finalist in Paris forumteam.blog

In the immediate aftermath of one of the most significant wins of his career, a victory over the unheralded Zachary Svajda that sent him into his first quarter-final at Roland Garros on Monday, Flavio Cobolli was posed a straightforward question. The Italian had been easing through the match, leading 5-1 in set four, when he almost capitulated.
