Flavio Cobolli has reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the second year in a row after defeating Australia's Alex de Minaur. The Italian secured the victory with a 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 win, extending his stay in south-west London.
Ice cream and today my dad cooks pasta with tomato and onion.
Cobolli, the ninth seed, had a mixed build-up to Wimbledon, playing only one singles match on grass before the tournament and losing it in straight sets. However, he produced an impressive performance against De Minaur to advance.
It's the World Cup so I want to see Spain and Portugal. I hope I can go early to the house but first of all we have to find one.
When asked about his recovery plans, Cobolli mentioned enjoying ice cream and a home-cooked pasta meal. He also expressed interest in watching the World Cup matches between Spain and Portugal. In a lighthearted moment, he humorously appealed for housing assistance, stating, "Maybe you guys have a house here in Wimbledon?" as he needed to find a new place to stay after his grandfather helped him secure accommodation initially.
We have our luggage at the old house and now we have to find [a new] one. Maybe you guys have a house here in Wimbledon?
