The head-to-head record was in favor of Cobolli at 1-0, with their previous encounter resulting in a victory for the Italian on clay in Umag. Cilic, a former World No. 1 junior, has had a storied career that includes reaching the semifinals of the 2010 Australian Open and achieving a career-high ranking of No. 3 after his run to the 2018 Australian Open final.

His impressive resume includes a title at the 2016 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati, leading Croatia to victory in the 2018 Davis Cup, and earning a silver medal in the men’s doubles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
On the other side of the net, Flavio Cobolli has been steadily rising in the ranks, breaking into the top 200 in January 2022 and the top 100 in October 2023. His career reached new heights in May 2025 when he achieved a career-high ranking of No. 26 after capturing his biggest title in Hamburg by defeating Rublev. Cobolli’s breakthrough came at the 2025 Bucharest event, where he overcame a losing streak to claim his first ATP Tour title and become the first Italian champion in the history of that tournament. The Italian player has also scored impressive victories over higher-ranked opponents, including wins over Gasquet, Baez, and Rune, showcasing his potential for greatness on the court. Cobolli’s resilience was evident in his ability to save match points and secure victories, such as his ATP Tour main draw debut win against Giron in a dramatic 3-set thriller.
As the match on Court 9 unfolded, both Cilic and Cobolli brought their A-game, with Cilic looking to secure his first Grand Slam level win since the 2022 US Open.
