Flavio Cobolli

Best Grand Slam performance: Wimbledon 2025 QF

Style and personality:

Cobolli grew up watching fellow Italian Fabio Fognini and sought to incorporate some of the same ‘flair’ into his own game. His playstyle consists of a powerful baseline game, seeking to dominate with flat shots and keep his opponent behind the baseline. Cobolli also has worked on his movement to the extent that it is one of his best attributes, being one of the quickest young players on the tour.

Career

The Italian’s favorite surface is clay, which allows for more time to wind up for his shots. On the dirt, he won the first title of his career in Bucarest in 2025. The same year, he won his first ATP 500 title in Hamburg, still on clay, by defeating Andrey “Rublo” Rublev in the final. He’s now a member of the Top 20! he reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon in 2025.
