Flavio Cobolli

And they actually, they're not that far away from playing one another in this tournament, which would be freaking awesome.

It's a, and so Koboli is playing doubles of Berrettini, which means Mussetti's the on the outside.

Look at it.

I think that if they both win one more match, they'll play each other here.

I'm trying to think of those, like, springy...

No, Kobolde does feel... tangentially accurate because but it's more than that it's just like especially the backhand cross the way she can drive through it the fact that if you sit up beforehand the fact it's the mentality too it's gun gun gun and yet again to get the break in the first set she slowed things down like slowed things down at the end of the second to stick with it as um as the world number three and uh on a push grave a started to raise for 11 by the way push grave a really solid a better kyle like it's kylie collins game but better um and if you get that reference shout out to you um but sun shinran just it's the relentless depth it's the twitchiness there's a twitchiness a springiness and explosiveness to everything she does like the every ground stroke she hits Sun Shinran, I don't know if it's going to be world number one because, again, the serve, it's just like, if your serve is attackable, Sabalenka, Rabakina, Goff, Sviantek, Andreeva, etc., Ignoskova, I can keep going.

They're all just going to attack it.

Once the rally starts, Sun Shinran is not going to have a problem, and I mean this legitimately power-wise, with anyone on the WTA Tour.

You know, he's had two clear days off since his round one match against Echeverry.

You know, he's likely to be much fresher than Kaboly here.

Kaboly again yesterday.

We had Dimitrov first set, didn't we? Of course, he won the second set.

Kaboly had three medical timeouts against Dimitrov.

Looked like he had very little left again at the end of that match against Dimitrov yesterday.

He's number four in the race to Turin right now, and I would suggest very likely to qualify.

from everywhere but but yeah when i'm commentating it's tougher because sometimes i plan and you guys know that sometimes you plan dinner at some time and and at a certain time and and you can you can just do it because tennis goes well yeah i remember

yeah i was gonna say no i was gonna say i remember when you um last year i think it was when koboli was playing davis cup and he saved uh kind of something crazy, like seven match points or something in the third set.

And I had a date that night and I had to keep pushing it back.

And she was like, my God, this crazy guy, you know, your life is controlled by tennis.

Race to Turin.

Medvedev, Kabaly, Fiss and Tiafoe are currently in the last four spots, but we still have two big weeks to go.

We have two 500s taking place this week and also the last ATP Masters 1000 of the year in Paris next week.

So honestly, like the shift quite a lot.

Perché è molto più semplice dire lui è il numero uno perché è nato così con delle doti pazzesche piuttosto che dire lui è il numero uno perché ha avuto la costanza di farlo, perché la costanza tutti noi possiamo trovarla, invece idolatrarlo, innalzarlo ad un livello un po' più alto, lo distacca un po' da noi e a volte ci autorizza dentro di noi a trovare quella scusa per dire: no, lui è là, io sono qua.

E il mondo nostro tennistico dei giovani, invece, sta ragionando bene, perché se pensiamo a Cobolli, Musetti, Darderi, ti-- Arnaldi, ti dicono l'esatto opposto.

Il fatto di vedere Jannik, che comunque reputano semplice e normale, anche se tutti riconoscono che è un fenomeno, però-

Lui sta aiutando gli altri?

Sta aiutando gli altri perché lo stesso Bellucci, che molti non conoscono, che è 50 del mondo, eh, ha detto una frase che magari ai più, all'amatore, può sembrare una frase come: Sinner è là e lui dice questa cosa, dice: se lo fa Sinner lo voglio fare anch'io.

E comunque Bellucci da, dal niente si è portato 50 del mondo.

E quindi Cobolli, che ha questo esempio di fianco col quale ogni tanto si allena, da quando si è allenato con Sinner quelle due o tre volte ha capito che cosa poteva fargli fare il salto di qualità, ma te lo dice lui stesso.

È fondamentale quindi sapere che anche gli atleti di altissimo livello, eh, hanno delle doti sicuramente che non tutti hanno, ma sono delle doti mentali di conti-- di reggere la continuità, la routine.
