Cobolli storms into French Open final after Arnaldi withdraws due to virus

Paris, June 5 (UNI) Italian tennis suffered a dramatic twist at the French Open on Friday after Matteo Arnaldi was forced to withdraw from his maiden Grand Slam semi-final minutes before the match due to a viral infection, handing a walkover to close friend Flavio Cobolli.
Arnaldi, 25, who had been due to face Cobolli in an all-Italian last-four clash, pulled out around 25 minutes before scheduled play after falling ill overnight with severe stomach pain, dizziness, vomiting and dehydration.
"I tried to see if I could get on court but every time I get up I feel dizzy. It was the right decision," Arnaldi said, adding that he was unable to eat or drink and "couldn’t move."
