Roland Garros: Arnaldi withdraws, Cobolli reaches final

Flavio Cobolli is in Sunday's final at

Roland Garros after Matteo Armaldi withdrew with a bug from

their semi-final slated for Friday night.

World number 14 Cobolli will face the winner of the other semi,

world number three Alexander Zverev of Germany, who beat Czech

Jakub Mensik, ATP number 27, in four sets: 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.

Zverev thus reached his fourth career Grand Slam final.

He has lost three of three so far.

It will be 24-year-old Roman Cobolli's first major final.

Arnaldi's withdrawal from the French Open semifinal against

Cobolli was announced in the press room by the organizers of the

Parisian Grand Slam, specifying that Arnaldi is suffering from a

virus and will therefore be unable to play.

The public will be refunded.
