Flavio Cobolli is now in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2026 after having to suffer more than expected against Zachary Svajda. The Italian had the match under control, and in the fourth set, he had a 5-2 lead to seal the match. However, the American started to come back and almost pushed the match to a fifth set. Therefore, in the on-court interview after the victory (6-2, 6-3, 6-7(3), 7-6(5)), he was concise and clear: "The only thing I understand today is that the match never ends, and I almost shit my pants. I want to thank my team. I think that maybe someone else also shit their pants," the Roman joked.
