Flavio Cobolli continues to dream at Wimbledon. The Italian reached the round of 16 at the London Grand Slam for the first time after coming back from a tough match against Karen Khachanov (0-6, 7-6, 6-7, 6-2, and 6-2) following his run to the second week at Roland Garros just a few weeks ago. The young Italian confirms the best moment of his career, all this on a surface where he had barely been able to prepare for the tournament.

Cobolli admitted that he didn't even expect to go this far on the grass at Wimbledon. "Being in the second week of a Grand Slam is always special, especially here at Wimbledon. I didn't expect this result after my great performance at Roland Garros, especially because I hadn't been able to train much on grass, but now I feel very good when I play and also when I have to fight. Today I did it, and I'm very proud of myself; I won an amazing match against a great rival like Karen," he explained after sealing the victory.

The match started in the worst possible way for the Italian, losing the first set by a resounding 6-0 after suffering from stomach issues. "I think I ate too close to the match; I felt unwell and tried to vomit in the first set. They gave me some pills that helped me a lot, and five or six minutes later, I was fine. I found a way to compete and get back to my level. In the end, I also felt very good physically," he recounted.

The crowd, Cobolli's greatest asset at Wimbledon

Cobolli also wanted to thank the spectacular support he received from the stands, where numerous Italian fans cheered him on for over four hours of battle. "It felt like the Davis Cup; there were many Italians, many from Rome, shouting 'Forza Roma.' They push me beyond my limits and help me find energy when it seems there's none left. After more than eleven hours on the court during the tournament, I still feel fresh. My body is ready, and if needed, I can play another five hours," he concluded.
