Wimbledon: Flavio Cobolli for the first time in the round of 16 at a Slam

Flavio Cobolli continues to impress and wins a splendid qualification to the Wimbledon round of 16. The young Roman tennis player dominated the match against Czech Jakub Mensik with a clear 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 in one hour and fifty minutes of play, signing one of the most important victories of his career.
From the first exchanges, Cobolli showed great determination and lucidity. The Azure was aggressive from the very first game, immediately managing to break his opponent’s serve. Solid on serve and surgical in response, Flavio took full advantage of the playing conditions, also taking advantage of the errors of Mensik, who was particularly foul in the early stages. The first set closed quickly at 6-2 in favor of the Roman after just 26 minutes of play.
The second partial opened along the lines of the first: Cobolli immediately placed another break, confirming his superiority. Complicating matters was the rain, which forced a break of about an hour and a half. When he returned to the court, however, the script did not change: Flavio remained focused and handled well Mensik’s comeback attempts, who tried to reopen the set in the decisive game, but the Italian cancelled a dangerous break point with great coolness and closed the partial 6-4 with an ace.
In the third set Cobolli once again immediately placed the break in the opening game, definitely directing the match. With his clean, concrete and unblemished tennis, he continued to dictate the pace until the final 6-2 victory.
For Flavio Cobolli, this result represents his first qualification to the round of 16 in a Grand Slam tournament. A historic achievement for the young Roman tennis player who is experiencing exponential growth. Now, waiting for him will be the winner between Marin Cilic and Jaume Munar. A match within reach that could open the doors to a resounding quarterfinal for him.
