flavio cobolli

Biography

Overview
The exciting young Italian has taken great strides in 2026, moving to a career-high ranking of No.9 in July after progressing to the Roland-Garros final, his greatest achievement at Grand Slam level. Aged 24, he is now the second highest-ranked Italian after Jannik Sinner. An alternate for Team Europe at Laver Cup Berlin in 2024, Cobolli appeared in Captain Yannick Noah’s first six-man squad for the eighth edition of Laver Cup in San Francisco last year. Since then, he has become one of the ATP Tour’s most watched rising stars, recording his 100th tournament win at Wimbledon, where he reached the quarterfinals.

Off Court
Cobolli grew up idolizing Fabio Fognini and Roma forward, Francesco Totti. One of his best friends is top-level footballer Edoardo Bove, whom he has known since the age of seven. He is coached by his father, Stefano Cobolli, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 236. Cobolli has multiple tattoos, including the Wolf of Roma and the symbol of Florence, one in Chinese meaning “brave and passion”, and another in Italian meaning “going for the win”.

Career
Born in Florence, the 2023 Next Gen star has been riding an upward wave that began in August 2024 when he challenged fifth seed Daniil Medvedev for a place in the fourth round of the US Open. He has posted solid results throughout the 2025 season and shown proficiency on all surfaces, notably on grass, where he has twice advanced to the last eight at Wimbledon. His first two ATP singles titles were won on clay at Bucharest in 2025, closely followed by victory in the final at the ATP 500 in Hamburg, where he defeated Andrey Rublev for the title. This year, he added another crown at Acapulco and appeared in his first Grand Slam singles final at Roland-Garros, where he fell to Laver Cup teammate, Alexander Zverev.
