French Open Wide Open After Sinner and Djokovic Exits

With two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz absent due to a wrist injury, the third-round defeats of Sinner and Djokovic on consecutive days have completely opened up the second major of the year. This unprecedented turn of events ensures that a first-time Grand Slam champion will be crowned at Roland Garros. catcross.biz

Among those capitalizing on the opportunity is 10th seed Flavio Cobolli, who reached his first French Open quarter-final by defeating Zachary Svajda. Cobolli nearly collapsed while serving for the match at 5-1 in the fourth set, eventually surviving a grueling tie-break. The Italian later succinctly described his nervous finish, admitting he almost "shit on my pants."
