Italian tennis player Flavio Cobolli has reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon 2025, marking a major milestone in his career. Cobolli overcame former champion Marin Cilic in the fourth round, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(3). The victory came despite personal disruptions, as Cobolli was forced to change his accommodation during the tournament. Reflecting on this achievement, Cobolli described the day as unforgettable, expressing pride in his performance and his attitude on the court[1].

Emotions ran high after his win, with Cobolli sharing the moment with his team and family, many of whom were visibly moved. His father, Stefano, a former player, was present to witness the historic moment[3]. Cobolli stated in interviews that reaching the quarter-finals is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream and credited his support team for their role in his journey. He emphasized how special it was to share this accomplishment with those who watched him grow as a player[5].

Cobolli is now set to face his childhood idol, Novak Djokovic, in the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Centre Court. The match is scheduled to start on July 9, 2025, at 14:25 UTC[2]. Cobolli has expressed excitement and determination ahead of the high-profile clash, describing himself as “ready” for the challenge and eager to play on a big court for the first time in his career[5].

Ranked world No.24, Cobolli is determined to make the most of his quarter-final debut and is already thinking about how he might commemorate this career milestone, possibly with a new tattoo[7].
