Cobolli and co left surveying wreckage as men’s seeds keep falling in French Open

The 2025 French Open men's draw has been blown wide open following the early exits of top seed Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz already absent due to a wrist injury. As a result, a first-time Grand Slam finalist is guaranteed to emerge from Roland Garros this year. Italian 10th seed Flavio Cobolli advanced to his first Roland Garros quarter-final after a dramatic victory over Zachary Svajda, narrowly surviving a late collapse in the fourth set.
