LONDON, July 6 : Italy’s Flavio Cobolli will need to start booking his accommodation for longer at Grand Slams if his current rate of progress continues after admitting his win over Alex de Minaur on Monday left him temporarily homeless.
The 24-year-old turned what was expected to be a closely fought battle into a one-sided romp as he outclassed the Australian fifth seed 7-5 7-6(4) 6-3 on a blazing Court One to set up a clash with British wildcard Arthur Fery.

“Maybe you guys have a house here in Wimbledon?”
Luckily for the 24-year-old world number 10, his grandfather has come to the rescue.
“Yeah, we found. Already found,” he told reporters later. “My grandfather helped us to find a solution for tonight. But I hope we’ve found a solution for all the week.
“An Italian family give us all the house here in Wimbledon, so it’s really cool. I will say thanks to them when I see them.”
