The Italian was consoled at his chair by compatriot and fellow Roman Matteo Berrettini, who knows a thing or two about having his best moments sabotaged by injuries. <\/p>\n<p>After Cobolli left the court, Berrettini opened up about his friend. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so sorry for him. I\u2019ve been there many times, maybe too many times,\u201d Berrettini said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I got emotional. I know how tough it can be. I know how much he wants to be in Turin, and the last thing that you want is getting an injury a few weeks before. But hopefully it\u2019s not going to be anything too serious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Cobolli took to Instagram to reveal the results of medical tests and confirm his intention to compete at next week\u2019s Paris Masters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday I underwent medical tests, which revealed a minor muscle strain,\u201d Cobolli wrote. \u201cI will travel to Paris on Saturday and do everything possible to play in the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cobolli, currently sixth in the Race to Turin, is hoping to secure one of the four remaining singles berths at the ATP Finals. Next week\u2019s Paris Masters represents the final opportunity for players to earn qualification points.<\/p>\n<p>After Thursday\u2019s retirement, Cobolli explained that his tears were not caused by pain, but by emotion, stress and disappointment at having to abandon the match.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Absolutely heartbreaking scenes in Vienna \ud83d\udc94<\/p>\n<p>Flavio Cobolli leaves the court in tears as he is forced to retire against great friend Berrettini \ud83d\ude22 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NRyAVYkToQ\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/NRyAVYkToQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tennis TV (@TennisTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TennisTV\/status\/2115906680454033512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">October 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For now, the Italian remains hopeful of competing in Paris, where he will attempt to put the finishing touches on a breakthrough season and qualify for his first trip to the ATP Finals.
