Flavio Cobolli into first grand slam semi-final after seeing off Auger-Aliassime

• Italian wins 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 against fourth seed

• Cobolli to face winner of Berrettini and Arnaldi

Flavio Cobolli became a grand slam semi-finalist for the first time as the Italian 10th seed pulled off a stellar recovery from a set and a break down to defeat the fourth seed, Félix Auger-Aliassime, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the French Open quarter-finals.

Cobolli’s victory also means there will be an all-Italian men’s grand slam semi-final for the first time in history in the very half that the top-ranked Italian Jannik Sinner had been heavily favoured to advance through en route to the title. The last semi-final spot will be determined in Wednesday’s night session between the unseeded Italians Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi.
