Cobolli cried on court after the match, marking his first-ever win over a player ranked in the top five. He will now face Ben Shelton in the BMW Open final. According to official sources, Cobolli has won three ATP tournaments in his career.
Multiple reports indicate Cobolli is in his second singles final of the season, and he found out about Mattia's death on Friday after beating Vit Kopriva in the ATP 250 event. The cause of Mattia's death and how long Cobolli had known him remain unknown, as does the name of the tennis club in Parioli where Mattia was from. According to Alexander Zverev, he had played a lot of tennis lately and his legs weren't there anymore.
It was certainly one of his better matches. However, I’ve played a lot of tennis lately, and my legs just weren't there anymore.
The time of the BMW Open final and how Zverev and Cobolli became friends on tour are not confirmed.
