Cobolli: "Proud of the game I played"

Lorenzo Cobolli wrote his name in the history of the second round of Wimbledon, eliminating Ben Shelton with a performance of determination and maturity that won over the London public. The 20-year-old Italian, number 123 in the ATP ranking, closed the match in four sets, 7-6(3), 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3, after two hours and forty minutes of intense play. Shelton, number 12 in the world, fell under the blows of a Cobolli who showed a mental solidity that was out of the norm for his age, canceling four out of five break points in the first set and six out of seven in the second.
