Neither Cobolli nor Sinner: Italy does not break its 50-year drought at Roland Garros
Italian men's tennis will have to wait, at least, another year to see an Italian lift the Musketeers' Trophy at Roland Garros. The last to achieve this was Adriano Panatta exactly fifty years ago (1976). Furthermore, Flavio Cobolli's defeat means Italy has suffered two consecutive losses in the Roland Garros finals, following the one endured by Jannik Sinner last year. This hadn't happened since 2005 with Argentina, which lost the final in 2004 (Guillermo Coria) and 2005 (Mariano Puerta).
The last time two players from the same country lost the Roland Garros final in consecutive years (Sinner and Cobolli) was in 2004 and 2005 with the Argentineans Coria and Puerta.
