Flavio Cobolli has gone from being a promising talent to becoming a reality. The Roman confirmed this year that when he's on a roll, he's a very dangerous player. It was evident at Wimbledon, where he reached the quarterfinals, and especially in the Davis Cup finals, where he showed himself to be a player who knows how to endure in tough moments.

One just has to remember his historic third set in the semifinals against Zizou Bergs where the Belgian had seven match points, but Flavio Cobolli, supported by his team and the Bologna crowd, managed to secure the

There, he faced a Spain that didn't make it easy. Particularly, Jaume Munar played a stellar first set (6-1) and often had the Roman against the ropes. However, it was in the crucial moments where Cobolli knew how to bite down and secure Italy's third consecutive Davis Cup. A month later, he appeared on the Italian show "Che tempo che fa" to talk about that event.

He also mentioned the special bond he has with his father, who is also his coach

"It's a challenging relationship, but we're getting used to it. Obviously, we argue a lot because we have the same personality, but I think he wants what's best for me. However, our arguments stay on the court. When we get home, we don't dwell on what happened."

Flavio Cobolli recalls his historic week at the 2025 Davis Cup finals

"Playing the Davis Cup was an incredible experience. Even today, when I have a moment, I watch the videos on my phone because those are emotions you want to experience every day."

He knew how to endure in that historic tie-break against Zizou Bergs

"When you're on the court, you don't realize what's happening; you just play. I focused on myself, and it worked out. Sometimes you have to disguise a bit because what your opponent sees in you is important: my father explained it to me. If he sees you down, he knows it's time to attack. I tried not to let Bergs see me down, and I think that was the secret to winning the match."

But Flavio Cobolli's season is not solely defined by that week in Bologna. Before that, he had already clinched his first two ATP titles (Bucharest and Hamburg) and then showcased his skills on grass, reaching the quarterfinals and giving Novak Djokovic a run for his money. So, he will definitely be a name to watch out for in 2026.
