Paris, June 5: The first all-Italian men's singles semifinal at the French Open ended in heartbreak for Matteo Arnaldi as he had to withdraw from his match against Flavio Cobolli due to viral illness in Paris on Friday. This means that Cobolli has advanced to his first Grand Slam final, where he will face Alexander Zverev on Sunday.
Arnaldi has been suffering from a viral illness since the early hours of Friday and informed the organisers that he was not strong or healthy enough to attend the Court Philippe-Chatrier for the second semifinal match.
The No. 34 player in the ATP Live Rankings later revealed that he vomited overnight from Thursday to Friday and was unable to take to the court and compete.
"It's difficult to be here. It's not what I wanted to do, but last night I started to feel not very well," Arnaldi said, who conducted his press conference alongside his compatriot Cobolli. "Yesterday I was feeling okay. I came here to practise. I did everything I had to do, and I was feeling fine.
