Match Preview

There are few more daunting prospects in world tennis than a clash with Novak Djokovic on Centre Court at Wimbledon. The seven-time champion at the All England Club has reached at least the final in each of the last six editions, and he boasts an overall win rate of 89%.

Despite being written off due to his age, Djokovic has continued to thrive this summer, dropping just two sets on his way to the last eight. His champion mentality was on full display in the round of 16, battling back from a set down to overcome Australian Alex De Minaur.

Flavio Cobolli is one of the improving players on the ATP Tour, having already claimed victories at events in Romania and Hamburg this calendar year. However, this is his best ever showing at a Grand Slam event, having previously reached the second round at Wimbledon 12 months ago.

The 23-year-old has overcome some tricky opponents to reach this stage, and he showed his credentials in his round of 16 win over Marin Cilic after overcoming the big-serving Croatian in four sets.

Cobolli has a game that is perfectly suited to the grass, and he looks more than capable of throwing down an interesting challenge for the experienced Djokovic.
