Flavio Cobolli retires and Lorenzo Musetti advances to the round of 16 of the US Open. The Roman tennis player threw in the towel early in the third set, trailing 2-0 after losing the first two sets 6-3, 6-2.
He withdrew due to a forearm injury . "Winning like this stings. There was a great show during the match, this derby with a bitter ending," Musetti said of Cobolli. "It was tough, but it's not easy to face him. I hope he returns soon. I think Flavio has improved a lot: you could see he was struggling on serve. It's a shame to end it like this."
"For my part, I'm happy to be in the round of 16, but now I'll go console my dear friend Flavio ," Musetti continued. "I can be satisfied with my tennis; I played a solid match and I'm very happy to be in the round of 16."
Now on the court is Jannik Sinner, against Denis Shapovalov.
