F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 4: 6, 1: 1
After the first two rallies were a little longer, Alexander Zverev secures both points. Afterwards the German is looking for the quick decision and is twice successful with a performance-and-volley variant, so that he quickly ends his service game.
14:17
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 4: 6, 1: 0
While Alexander Zverev checks and dominates the first ball change, which means that he can also secure the first point win, the Italian then comes back strongly and lets his counterpart run a lot. In the end, a forehand lands from German number one online. This is followed by two forced return errors before the 23-year-old ended his service game with an ASS.
14:14
Conclusion of the sentence
Alexander Zverev won the first set with 6: 4 against Flavio Cobolli. However, it is very striking that the German has big problems finding in his service game. The 28-year-old had to ward off three break balls twice, which he also succeeded. In general, the idea of the favorite can still be expanded, but Tokyo’s Olympic champion appears more stable than its opponent.
14:13
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 4: 6
An unforced error from Flavio Cobolli at Return leads to the second set ball. This time, however, Alexander Zverev makes it much better and serves an ASS to the outside world.
14:08
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 4: 5
It remains that Alexander Zverev rarely finds his rhythm when specified. The first two points must hand over the number one German number. Only then does it come in better and can force a mistake before he attaches a forehand to the winner. At 30:30 there is a forced return error, so there is the first set ball. However, the Olympic champion of Tokyo 2021 leaves the possibility lightly from the half field, since its forehand lands clearly in the right double field. So there is debut.
14:06
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 4: 5
But even with Flavio Cobolli, not everything seems to run according to plan. He also benefits from his serve, but again and again he brings his opponent back into his service with mild mistakes. This results in the fact that it is quickly 30:30 before the Italian can force a return error. With an ASA, the 23-year-old keeps his statement and so Zverev can now serve to win the set.
14:03
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 3: 5
Again Alexander Zverev has big problems finding his rhythm on his own serve. Again and again he made slight mistakes and so it is quite quickly 30:30. However, he then benefits from his hard serve and can secure a game ball. He goes to the net by service and volley, but with his volley he hits the ball with the frame, which jumps out a very crooked blow. However, Cobolli can no longer react quickly enough and so the German number one gets the service game.
13:57
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 3: 4
Flavio Cobolli starts with a service winner. Afterwards he tries a performance-and-volley variant, completely warps the volley and thus makes a slight mistake. Even after that, the Italian does not remain flawless and so a double back claps from him against the power edge. Afterwards, the 23-year-old builds up a lot of pressure about the surcharge before he forces his counterpart to make a mistake with a crashing forehand. After an ace, the Underdog gets the chance to keep his service game and uses this option. So Zverev remains in the lead with a break.
13:53
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 2: 4
In contrast to his first two service games, Alexander Zverev now gets better in his server. First there is a forehand winner on the net before he puts a double back hand from the movement to the winner. Afterwards, Flavio Cobolli puts a back hand behind the baseline before he cannot accommodate a return in the field. This ends the German impact game without loss of point.
13:51
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 2: 3
However, something seems to be wrong with German. In his blow to the game gain, the world number of world rankings seems to have been slightly represented, so that he has a problem with his left foot. However, it does not need any interruption and so it continues immediately. The first two points share both actors before the next two rallies are distributed fairly. At 30:30, it is only a return error from the Tokyo Olympic champion 2021 before an unforced error ends the game.
13:49
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 1: 3
Alexander Zverev is completely unimpressed by the qualities of his counterpart and is looking for the path to the net. After building a lot of pressure, he gets a forehand mash that he turns. This is followed by another winner about the forehand, so that he holds his second service game.
13:42
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 1: 2
As with his first service game, Alexander Zverev has to hand in the first two rallies. Flavio Cobolli then holds the ball in the field and makes the Germans make a third mistake, which gives him three options for the re-break again. The 23-year-old cannot perceive the first chance due to the hard serve and even after that, the Italian cannot close the sack, because a double back longline slips into the double field. At 30:40 there is a longer rally, in which Cobolli has control before he carefully rooms his forehand in the right double field.
13:39
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 1: 2
Alexander Zverev’s facial expression suggests that he still is still not ideal, but he plays little in terms of play. He secures the first ball change with a forehand winner. He is then forced to make a mistake before making a forehand into the right corner and forces his opponent to return the backhand error. At 3:30 p.m., Cobolli puts a forehand winner inside out before the 23-year-old benefits from an unforced error of his opponent. He does not miss the possibility of the game and brings a sharp statement to the outside, which Zverev cannot return.
13:35
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 0: 2
After about three minutes, the 28-year-old comes back on the pitch and continues to serve as if nothing had happened. Two hard serves outwards cannot accommodate his counterpart in the field and so the German number one takes the lead 2-0.
13:34
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 0: 1
At 40:40 it will be strange. Alexander Zverev has to support himself for a short time and breaks down his routine for the serve. He throws the ball and the racket away and runs into the cabin. After that, the time for the toilet break begins to embroider.
13:30
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 0: 1
After his break, Alexander Zverev starts his impact game extremely weak. After a double error, two slight mistakes follow, so there are three break chances for Flavio Cobolli. The first option can fend off the first option from 2021 due to his serves. The second chance is also thwarted with a service winner. So a breakball remains, in which the Italian cannot bring the return over the power edge, so that he gives all three chances of the re-break.
13:21
F. Cobolli – A. Zverev: 0: 1
Then it can start. After a short rally, Alexander Zverev gets the first point in the opposing serve before committing an avoidable return error. The Italian then dominates the rallies before a forehand ends up from the center on the net. The German number one subsequently builds pressure on a forehand that leads to the forced mistake before it gets his counterpart with a double back and secures the break.
13:21
Players are running in
Flavio Cobolli is called up by the stadium spokesman before Alexander Zverev can also make the way into the interior shortly afterwards. Both actors occupy their chair, which is likely to be referred to as a couch. After a few moments it goes to the net where the coin talent takes place. The Italian wins this and decides to start the server into the match.
13:07
Light delay
Until a few moments ago, Alex Michelsen and Daniil Medvedev were facing each other on the Center Court, but after 1:26 hours of play, the Russian clearly won the duel with 2-0 after sentences and was the first participant to the semi -finals of the Terra Wortmann Open 2025.

12:58
Zverev is a favorite
In addition to the fact that German number one has won the only duel with Flavio Cobolli to date, the Italian is also a clear clay court specialist. The 23-year-old was only able to celebrate his tournament victories on the ATP and Challenger tour on the red surface and is therefore still waiting for his breakthrough on the lawn and the hard court. Although his counterpart was not yet able to win a tournament on the green run, he already has two final participation. So he was in the final of Halle in 2016 and 2017. As a result, the favorite role lies with the German, but yesterday already showed that the balance of power is not always so clear on lawn.
12:51

12:37
