Matteo Arnaldi Advances to Roland-Garros Semifinal after Berrettini Retires

Matteo Arnaldi progressed to the Roland‑Garros semifinals after his quarter‑final opponent retired. The match took place on 3 June and featured the two Italians Matteo Arnaldi and Matteo Berrettini. Arnaldi captured the opening set 7‑5. He broke his opponent's serve in the second set before Berrettini withdrew. Arnaldi is ranked No 104 in the world. Berrettini, also Italian, left the court without completing the match. In the semifinal, Arnaldi will meet fellow Italian Flavio Cobolli. Cobolli advanced from his own quarter‑final to set up the all‑Italian semifinal. The quarter‑final was an all‑Italian encounter, the only one on that evening. Both players represented Italy on the clay courts of Paris. Arnaldi's win places him among the final four competitors at the French Open. The result underscores the depth of Italian talent at Roland‑Garros.
