MONACO DI BAVIERA (GERMANY) (ITALPRESS) – An extraordinary Flavio Cobolli knocks out the outgoing champion Alexander Zverev in two sets and conquers a place in the final of the “BMW Open”, Atp 500 from 2.561.110 euros on the red ground fields of the Iphitos Tennis Club in Munich, Germany.
Try sumptuous that of the 23-year-old Roman, number 16 of the world and fourth favorite of seeding, which was imposed for 6-3 6-3 after an hour and 9 minutes of play stopping the Zverev race towards the fourth title in Bavaria. Cobolli, who had lost both previous comparisons with the German (eighty Roland Garros and quarters Halle in 2025), then hits his fifth career final in the major circuit and tomorrow, against the winner of the challenge between the second series head Ben Shelton and the qualified Alex Molcan, will go hunting his fourth seal after winning in the past season in Bucharest and Hamburg and last February in Acapulco.
LE LACRIME DI COBOLLI PER L’AMICO CHE NON C’E’ PIU’
A touching image in Munich: after conquering the final by beating in two sets Alexander Zverev, Flavio Cobolli sat in his corner, letting himself go to a liberating cry. Cobolli explained that the final weeping was linked to the disappearance of a friend: “He was only 13 years old, he left too early. This victory is only for him.”.
The dedication of Cobolli was for the 13-year-old who attended the Tennis Club Parioli, who died yesterday and who had already turned a social thought: “Every point I will play, every ball I will touch, every step I will do, I will think to you – he had written on Instagram – The tennis school will never be the same without you, but I swear you will never be forgotten”.
COBOLLI “UNO DEI MIGLIORI MATCH DI SEMPRE”
“It was one of my best matches ever, against one of my best friends in the circuit.” Flavio Cobolli said this, after the victory over Zverev that opened the doors of the Munich final. “It’s a really good guy and I have a good relationship with everyone in his team, so it was a little hard to play against him – Cobolli added – but today I think I played one of my best games and I’m really happy with my performance.”.
