Flavio Cobolli confirms if he is planning to play the Paris Masters after retiring in tears in Vienna, ‘I had to stop’

Flavio Cobolli exited the Vienna Open prematurely after withdrawing during his match against Matteo Berrettini due to a leg injury. Despite trailing 5-2 in the opening set, the Italian player became visibly emotional on the bench before deciding he could not continue.

Cobolli later clarified that his tears stemmed from frustration and the pressure of his breakout season rather than physical pain. He intends to undergo medical evaluations before attempting to compete at the upcoming Paris Masters.

The 2026 season has been a career-best for Cobolli, highlighted by a runner-up finish at Roland Garros and a title victory in Acapulco, keeping him in contention for a spot at the ATP Finals in Turin.
