In the men's quarterfinals at the French Open on Wednesday, 10th-seeded Flavio Cobolli beat No. 4 Felix Auger-Aliassime 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to ensure there will be an Italian finalist.

Cobolli will face one of two fellow Italians, Matteo Berrettini or Matteo Arnaldi - who were playing later - in the semifinals.

The strong Italian showing comes despite top-ranked Jannik Sinner getting stunned in the second round.

Second-seeded Alexander Zverev and No. 26 Jakub Mensik will meet in the other semifinal.
