Italian tennis made history at the French Open as two home players reached a Grand Slam semifinal at the same tournament for the first time. Flavio Cobolli, ranked 14th in the world, and Matteo Arnaldi, positioned 104th, have both achieved a breakthrough that has not been reached before.

Cobolli required four sets to secure his semifinal spot, while Arnaldi delivered an even more impressive performance, finishing his match in two sets. For both players, this is the greatest achievement of their careers so far.

Two Italians in a semifinal is a sign that Italian tennis has made a major leap in recent years. In addition to Cobolli and Arnaldi, Jannik Sinner has also reached the top of world tennis, which shows that Italy has seriously invested in tennis development.
