Flavio Cobolli, the 10th seed, is preparing for his first Grand Slam final against Alexander Zverev at Roland Garros. Despite the significance of the match, Cobolli is contemplating asking his girlfriend, Matilde Galli, not to attend, recalling a previous loss in Munich where he felt her presence may have been a jinx. Cobolli shared, 'I called my girlfriend and said, “Please don’t let me lose.” But she does!' This reflects his deep affection for Galli, who he met at 18 and who is currently focused on her studies to become a sanitary director. Cobolli has expressed a desire to spend more time with her but acknowledges the challenges posed by their respective commitments. He reached the final after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime and receiving a walkover from Matteo Arnaldi, who withdrew due to illness. Cobolli expressed sadness for Arnaldi but is now focused on his final match. He noted the uncertainty of whether the extra day of rest will help him against Zverev, stating, 'Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.'
