The Italian player expressed his surprise and delight at his unexpected progress in the prestigious tennis tournament. Following his win, Cobolli made a lighthearted remark to the press, suggesting he now requires accommodation for the duration of his stay at Wimbledon, implying he did not anticipate reaching this advanced stage of the competition.

The 22-year-old Italian is now set to face a more established player in the quarter-finals, with his next opponent yet to be determined based on other ongoing matches. The tournament continues with high stakes as players vie for a place in the semi-finals.
