Aha, this is what I wanted to see! Flavio Cobolli has relaxed and starting to hit his shots. And Sasha Zverev is becoming a little ratty. Now this could get really interesting. Forza, Flavio!

It is amazing to see the shift of energies in the last couple of minutes.

Wow! Where did that come from?
After only losing six points on serve in the match, Zverev suddenly hits panic mode. No wonder he is turning to his box and anxiously gesticulating as he goes back to his chair.
Game on? Cobolli has a spring in step now - as do those waving Italian flags in the stands.

He's a couple of holds away from levelling the French Open final.
Who'd have predicted that at the end of the first set?
