Roland Garros 2026 Semifinalist Shocks Fans by Dropping Out

Paris has witnessed another shocking twist at Roland Garros 2026. After several top players bowed out, an Italian athlete announced their withdrawal from participating in the semifinals.

The revelation came just hours before the 4 Best Match, on Friday evening (5/6). Matteo Arnaldi, an Italia tennis player, declared his decision to withdraw from the semifinals.

A surprise twist as Berrettini had earlier dropped out from the quarter finals match between him and Arnaldi. Arnaldi's impressive performance propelled him into his first Grand Slam semifinal as the top 4 contender at Roland Garros 2026.

However, his body was not cooperating. A virus had been afflicting him, causing him to experience vomiting, fever, and more. Arnaldi expressed his difficulty in coping with the situation.

"It's hard to accept, especially when you consider how the tournament has unfolded, what I've already experienced here and having to withdraw from the semifinals of my first Grand Slam. No player would ever wish for something like this to happen," said Arnaldi.
