Cobolli explains the keys to his successful season and sets an ambitious goal
The Italian attributes his leap in quality to a person very close to him and states that his top priority is to compete in the ATP Finals 2026, among other goals.
Flavio Cobolli wants to continue the excellent tennis he displayed at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, confirming at 24 years old that he is a player with the potential to win major titles. Before his journey begins at the ATP Masters 1000 Montreal 2026, he shared interesting reflections on his qualitative leap and priority objectives for the remainder of the season.
There has been much joking on social media about the Italian's words after losing the final in Munich a few months ago, when he told his girlfriend that she hadn’t brought him luck because it was the only match she had traveled to see him live. The story repeated itself at Roland Garros, and perhaps for that reason, Flavio Cobolli wanted to speak clearly about how important his partner is in understanding his improvement as a tennis player, in words captured by TennisTV and SkySports.
Cobolli recognizes the importance of his girlfriend in his emotional state
"My girlfriend helps me a lot. I believe I have improved in every aspect thanks to her support. She makes me feel good when I am away from home, and traveling with her more often has been crucial for this change. Now I feel much more comfortable with myself," he explained.
"I feel that I enjoy life on the circuit. I've also learned to be alone at times, without constantly depending on others," he said, hinting at a maturity that is also reflecting on the court.
Now established among the top 10 players in the world, the Italian is aware that he is at a critical moment in his career, where he can decide what kind of player he is and what he can aspire to. The notable and significant absences in the Canadian Masters 1000 make him be perceived as a contender for everything, and his mindset supports that consideration.
The Italian wants to compete in the ATP Finals in Turin
"Being in the top-10 was one of my biggest dreams, and achieving it has to be a springboard. I am changing many things both mentally and tennis-wise. I am a different player, and that should help me throughout the rest of my career to keep improving and believe more in myself," he stated.
When asked about his priority objectives for the remainder of the year, the current number 4 in the ATP Race is clear. "Competing in the ATP Finals in Turin is the main goal of this year. It is a dream I hope to make a reality. We are working to achieve it, but it should not become an obsession or drain my energy for playing tennis. The season is very long, and I still need to achieve many important results to reach that goal," concluded Flavio Cobolli, brimming with ambition to aim for great successes.
