🎾 ATP Rome: Luca Nardi vs Flavio Cobolli – Match Preview

🧠 Form & Context

🇮🇹 Flavio Cobolli

• 🎾 Title flash, mixed season: Captured his first ATP trophy in Bucharest, but sits at just 10–12 on the year, reflecting inconsistent results.
• 📈 Madrid momentum: Took out Marozsan and advanced past Holger Rune (via retirement) to reach the third round—his best-ever run at a Masters 1000.
• 🇮🇹 Home hopes in Rome: This marks his sixth appearance in the main draw, but he’s only managed one win so far (over Marterer last year).
• ⚠️ Streaky operator: When confident, Cobolli’s inside-out forehand and bold court positioning can rattle opponents—but his serve and focus can unravel just as fast.

🇮🇹 Luca Nardi

• 🔁 Momentum stalled: After a career-best quarterfinal in Dubai, Nardi slumped with five consecutive losses, casting doubt on his consistency at ATP level.
• 🧱 Challenger reset: Bounced back slightly last week with a couple of wins in Estoril to rebuild rhythm and confidence.
• 🎟️ Wildcard return: Playing Rome for the third time via wildcard—still searching for his first win after opening-round losses in 2022 and 2023.
• ⚡ Talented but volatile: Has the game to excite—fluid groundstrokes, great timing, fearless shot selection—but hasn’t yet strung it together over a full ATP-level match on clay.
