When Flavio Cobolli plays in Toronto: background with Galarneau
Flavio Cobolli returns immediately to the court in the Toronto Masters 1000 after losing in the round of 16 at the Washington ATP 500 to Frances Tiafoe. The Roman, seeded 13th, will take on wildcard Alexis Galarneau, world number 193.
The match between the Blue and the Canadian is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30 on the ‘Motorola razr Grandstand Court’. Opening the dances at 5 p.m. Italian time (11 a.m. local) will be Andrey Rublev and Hugo Gaston, then it will be Cobolli and Galarneau’s turn.
There is no precedent at the ATP level between the two players.
Cobolli is heavily favored but will have to watch out for the home favorite, who surprisingly eliminated Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech (7-6 6-3) in the first round.
The week opened in the best way for Flavio: in fact, the Roman celebrated his personal best ranking, reaching the number 17 position in the world rankings compiled by the’ATP.
