Flavio Cobolli prepares for Laver Cup following breakout season

Italian tennis player Flavio Cobolli is preparing to compete for Team Europe in the Laver Cup, held at London’s O2 Arena from September 25 to 27. Following a breakout 2026 season where he reached the ATP number 6 ranking and achieved his first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros, Cobolli transitions from a reserve role to a key participant.

Cobolli, who previously served as a reserve in Berlin in 2024 and made his debut in San Francisco last year, joins a high-level European squad led by Yannick Noah. The team includes Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Rafael Jodar, Casper Ruud, and Jakub Mensik. Cobolli expressed pride in his recent achievements, stating that while he is proud of his 2026 results, he views them as just the beginning of his career.
