Both players started slowly on Court Philippe Chatrier before wrapping up the opening set 5-4 in Canada’s Auger-Aliassime.
Playing conditions improved after the roof closed on the main show court, but Kobley broke himself early in the second set and won four straight games to level the tie.
“I think we played two different matches today. The first set was incredibly windy. The game was really tough,” Cobley said.
“I went to the toilet to think a bit. I tried to change something. I thought ‘this is the best court of my life, because I can show my best tennis’.”
“I told myself to fight, this is the chance of my life and I have to give everything in all my matches. So today I am really happy.”
A single break in each of the third and fourth sets was enough to see off Coboli as he secured his semi-final spot after three hours and 24 minutes on court.
Auger-Aliassime’s exit means Kobolli and second-seeded Zverev are the only top-10 seeds left in the men’s draw.
