Cobolli is into a maiden Grand Slam semi

<p>Cobolli took a big step towards his ‌goal with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 quarter-final win over fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime on Wednesday, revealing ‌in an on-court interview that he ⁠had stuck to ‌the same tension level in his racket strings in Paris.</p><p>The 24-year-old added he would not change his daily routine to stay ​at the venue to watch the match between his compatriots Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi, ⁠preferring instead to ​go for a meal with his friends.</p><p>"I am a little bit (superstitious), but not crazy," 10th seed Cobolli told reporters later.</p><p>"<strong>But you know, this ‌week, I'm a little bit more crazy than the others. I just go same restaurant, same menu, same shower</strong>.</p><p>"<strong>Actually, I think I said in the first press conference that I used the same shower as Rafa Nadal, because I had memories with that shower</strong>."</p><p>Cobolli said that on one occasion, former world ‌number one Nadal had knocked on the door ​of the shower in the locker room ‌when he was using it to request that he make it quick.</p><p>"<strong>He told me that it has been his shower since 14 years</strong>," Cobolli added.</p><p>"<strong>So I think the ⁠best thing that ⁠I'm doing (this year) ... ‌the shower</strong>."</p>
