Flavio presents himself in Beijing with a lead of 1021 points over Jodarwhich is currently the first reserve. “Turin is what I’ve dreamed of for a long time, I won’t hide it. The season went very well, I played many matches, many at a high level and I won many of them. I am ready to fight for Turin in these last tournaments“. Cobolli’s growth in 2026 has been remarkable, after winning his third tournament in February in Acapulco, the Roman reached the quarterfinals in Madrid, the final in Monaco and Paris with that final lost in the fifth set to Zverev, one of his best friends. Cobolli has not forgotten that afternoon but was able to accept the defeat and above all he is convinced that his career will give him another great opportunity in the Slams. At 24 years old he is currently number seven in the world and to think that it only entered the top fifteen in February after Acapulco. With Sinner’s absence he is the spearhead of our tennis and dreams of playing in Turin where we could have two Italians on the court for the third time. And then there is Davis, where last year in Sinner’s absence Cobolli was the driving force.
