2026 French Open - Men's Discussion

[ibbi]

No eye of the tiger from Felix. Disappointing.

 

[roysid]

Sure. He didn't like it outdoors, but you don't think there is a difference in Felix's level too?

His backhand not firing at all

 

[NoleFam]

Baby Alcaraz (even though he’s older)

I like his game even better on faster surfaces. He can play some flashy tennis.

 

[roysid]

The french canadian we speak is way different compared to the actual french they speak over there. To watch him code switch he looks like a complete phony

He plays atleast 3 tournament there.
Montepillar
RG
Paris masters.

Good way to get support

 

[Kralingen]

Felix has really just played like crap since going up 3-1 in the 2nd.

Cobolli barely doing anything special

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Is FAA the Harden of tennis?

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Looks like Felix is getting eliminated

 

[ALCARAZWON]

Yeah its hard to believe Felix is ranked so high, really just a non-slam player.
The ranking system needs an overhaul to stop rewarding these pretenders.
99% of the world's population has never heard of the non-slam events anyway.

Sabalenka is the Harden of tennis.

 

[btsjungkook]

Another Canadian letting me down again.

 

[roysid]

Is the cobolis coach who is highly excited

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

cobolli looks like a decent guy but i seriously struggle to find some appeal in his game... looks like a relentless soporific FH-drilling/grunting machine to me: is there anything wrong with me, folks?
he would make berasategui look like a creative artist...
(i mean... of course there's something wrong with me...... but i mean more specifically with my perception of cobolli here)

 

[Kralingen]

Phew that cross court forehand on the run. WOW what a shot that is to go up 40-0

 

[ibbi]

Another Canadian letting me down again.

At least you have Bret Hitman Hart.

 

[Kralingen]

Is FAA the Harden of tennis?

He is the Donovan Mitchell of tennis.

 

[Kralingen]

Sabalenka is the Harden of tennis.

She is much more Embiid to me.

He can play some nice stuff inside! The guy has very decent hands. Today there is no need for him to do any of that. You'll see it in the month ahead!

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Sabalenka is the Harden of tennis.

I am actually nervous for Friday man. First time I have been nervous for a tennis match in 7 years.

 

[ibbi]

She is much more Embiid to me.

At least she stays healthy

Physically anyway.

 

[roysid]

Is the cobolis coach who is highly excited

The guy next to his coach. Who is he

 

[ibbi]

I am actually nervous for Friday man. First time I have been nervous for a tennis match in 7 years.

I think he has as good a chance as anyone left to get it done! If not, there's at least a decade of good times ahead

 

[Sudacafan]

I initially thought that a FAA’s exit would improve Z’s chances, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that Cobolli would be a tougher opponent for Z in a hypothetical final.

In fact, I would probably say the same about Arnaldi and Berrettini as well.

Cobolli is more soporific than Sinner.

Coboli beat Zed in Munich 2 months back.
FAA beat Zed in last year's us open.
No one is easy

 

[Terenigma]

What a way to serve it out if he does indeed seal this! Match point!

 

[roysid]

Who is the tall guy in cobolis box. So passionate

 

[bw114]

LFG!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

woohoo

 

[Carax]

It's official: 2026 RG will have an Italian in the final, and it won't be Sinner.

 

[Sudacafan]

So you are saying that Zed is easy.

 

[JMR]

At least you have Bret Hitman Hart.

Why the endless wrestling references and wrestling images in these discussions? Is there a more useless "sport" around?

 

[Terenigma]

All Italian semi final confirmed! GSM Cobolli!

 

[ibbi]

DON FLAVIO! This was what we needed after the Svajda match. He has got a very good chance of making the final now.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

@Kralingen

 

[RossiBhoy]

SSSEEEEIIIIIIIII

 

[ibbi]

He is one of the great Canadians.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I am so happy right now.

 

[Kralingen]

Who would have thought 2 weeks ago seeing the Sinner half that we would have an Italian in the Final... with dark hair and a tan

 

[bw114]

Who is the tall guy in cobolis box. So passionate

Alright, fine, I admit it. You caught me

 

[Gattone]

Italian finalist confirmed! Take your time Jannik, we (well, they) have got your back

 

[Tenez01]

if someone told me 2 weeks back there would be an Italian in the Roland Garros Men's singles final and it would be someone not named Sinner or Musetti, I would not have believed it LOL

 

[RossiBhoy]

an Italian in the final confirmed

 

[NoleFam]

Cobolli through to the SF and played great. Felix couldn't raise his level enough in those last 2 sets.

If somebody told us before the tournament that there would be two Italians in the SF and to name them, none of us would have gotten it right. Lol.

 

[brewcrew]

Just like the bookies thought, two Italians in the semis and none of them named Sinner.

 

[Vincent-C]

CO-BOW-LEE !!!

FORZA

 

[Sudacafan]

Interesting how many Italophiles here.
Pizza and pasta lovers.

@ibbi This close to greatness…

Who would you cheer for if Berasategui was up against a famous bovine?

 

[sortof]

Truly hope that Cobolli makes it to the final. His A/A+ game is good enough to trouble the Zodrot. Admittedly thin air but still better than the alternatives.

And Monica Bellucci.
