What will be interesting going forward is to see if Cobolli has found another gear and is going to be a consistent contender at the slams, or if this is a one-time thing and Cobolli is just taking advantage of the situation with Alcaraz out.

(In any case, a bowl of bucatini bolognese sounds good right now.)

Gezz Phil he made the final of RG? as I have said many times he has a good solid game, he also helped us winning the DC last year against Spain get your facts clear for starters.Today he was clinical in defeating de Minaur, who I thought he could, de Minaur to me welts under pressure and his draw to date was kind to him in ways.
Did you actually watch his match over de Minaur? No I dont think you did you just go on scores and when a player comes in ranking.
Cobolli has just entered the Top Ten give him a chance consolidate his position before you make hypothetical accusations!

I’m hoping Dimitrov wins today.
I dont never liked him as a player very overated and never played to his so call potential, usually folds like a tent when pressured he only got into Wimbledon after receiving a wild card as he ranking has slipped to around #146 in the world at his age he should look to retire quite frankly, he has gone back to the challenger circuit

The thing that makes me pause is that Cobolli is 24. If he was a few years younger, I'd be more confident about Cobolli. I've seen players all of a sudden going on a similar great run Cobolli's age then never really follow it up. I know Wawrinka went on a late career run, but that was an exception, not a rule.

Regarding de Minaur, he is a consistent player, but I think his game is limited. I don't think he has the tools to challenge the elite in a Bo5. Plus, with him being 27 and being on the tour for a long time, I think he has reached his ceiling.

All players reach their own level at different ages Cobolli has had injury problems like his shoulder if you had done your research properly and nearly at one stage nearly had to have shoulder surgery, maybe he is a late bloomer because he always had a solid game, great mover and strong off both wings if you had watch him play, also he has made back to back QFs at Wimbledon, which is a good consistent result
Consistency is the Key to improve your rankings in the first instance!
BTW Cobolli has risen to No 8 in the live rankings

Just watched a bit of Dimitrov and British Q Fery who is talented by the way, Grigor slice isnt working against him at all, he did try to slice Fery fhand which worked a little then stopped, also Fery is quite short he is only 5 ft 9in, though that dosent seem to affect his play at all.
This match can go anywhere, evenly matched, Fery won the 1st set 75

He got a hipp injury.
I suggest you watch the high lights or try to watch the match in full? because Hubi began to struggle with a rib/abdominal problem and also experienced back pain as the match progressed to the 4th set, he also had multiple medical time outs and tried to play through the pain, but had to call it quits!

Apparently de Minaur was down in the dumps over his loss to Cobolli
Alex, Cobolli played to Win and the fact of the matter is you didnt?

Mind your own business thanks and stop following my posts around, try to find a new hobby :)
I post whatever I like and frankly speaking I'm a bit tired of you schooling everyone as if this was your private chat room and named yourself king of.
So maybe you should think about how you write to other people. Your not anyone's mother or teacher and we all have a right to our opinions. Even if they don't apply to yours.

You hardly post here? and you have No Idea What Has Gone On BTW? especially concerning the roof and its closure? BTW it was Phil that sounded like a broken record, after me and then Keli, told him the correct rule with the closing of the roof? Phil whinged for over 2 days? get your facts straight okay as you werent around with the roof closing?
Also you wrong about Hubi having a hip problem
Hubi didnt have a hip problem it was a ab and back injury/pain
You can post as much as you like? as long as you dont reply to my posts from now on and I wont reply to yours? a deal, I hope soo :) so you wont be tired of my schooling everyone, which is a complete exaggeration on your part, just saying :)
Try to have a Nice Day!
