Who is Novak Djokovic’s opponent, Flavio Cobolli?

Flavio Cobolli, now 23, has reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Wimbledon, showing impressive form in recent months. Once a promising footballer, he has proven that tennis was the right path, standing out as one of the ATP Tour’s rising stars.

Born in Florence and raised near Rome in Subiaco, Cobolli was drawn to both football and tennis as a child. His father, Stefano Cobolli, was a former pro who reached world No. 236 and now coaches him. Though he began playing tennis at age two, he spent more time on football, training four times a week in the AS Roma academy.

Cobolli played as a right-back and shared the pitch with players like Riccardo Calafiori. But at age 14, he made the choice to pursue tennis professionally, following in his father’s footsteps. Since then, he has achieved notable success, including winning the boys’ doubles title at the 2020 French Open and reaching his first ATP final in 2024.

The start of 2025 was difficult, with eight consecutive losses following two early wins at the United Cup. By April, his ranking had dropped to 45th. However, at the Bucharest Open, he ended the slump by beating Richard Gasquet and went on to defeat several top players, including Sebastian Baez, to claim his first ATP Tour title.
