Flavio Cobolli doesn’t want to stop: message to Holger Rune

The words of Flavio Cobolli

Flavio Cobolli brilliantly passed the first round of Roland Garros, defeating in four sets (6-2 6-3 6-7 6-3) Serbian Hamad Medjedovic, number 135 in the ATP ranking but winner of the last Next Gen ATP Finals. For the Roman tennis player, it was the first career victory on the red clay of Paris.

“I played an exceptional match,” commented the Italian to the microphones of Sky Sport.

I had a little drop in the third and he took advantage of it by raising his level. In the first two sets I was very good at taking advantage of the moments when he conceded something. I knew he was such a player and that I had to hook him from the first game to get into the fight, the way I like it. I am very happy and proud of the match".

In the second round the Roman will face Holger Rune: "For sure playing against Holger will be difficult, but as I said before I like battles and I am ready to play it. I think I deserve such a match after this start of the season. I am ready and loaded. Let’s hope well".

"Every time I come here I play well, my best tennis. So è it is clear that I like these conditions" concluded Cobolli who will challenge Rune on Thursday, May 30.
