The tournament marked the final pit stop for players before the French Open, which is set to get underway from tomorrow (Sunday, May 25). Cobolli would be pleased with this outcome and will aim to improve upon his previous best result in Paris.
Flavio Cobolli will face Marin Cilic in the first round of the French Open following his triumph at the Hamburg Open
Flavio Cobolli has started to peak at the right time. His triumph at the Hamburg Open would certainly boost his confidence and he would need to be in top form if he wants to make an impact at the season's second Major. His first-round opponent at the French Open 2025 is former US Open champion Marin Cilic.
Cilic faltered in the final qualifying round of the French Open but got a second shot as a lucky loser. He's a former semifinalist at the venue. Cobolli registered his best result in Paris last year by reaching the second round.
Cobolli also won his previous and only encounter against Cilic at the Croatia Open 2023 in straight sets. That match was also contested on clay. Given his past victory in this rivalry coupled with his latest title, the young Italian will be the heavy favorite to come out on top in this encounter.
Cobolli crashed out in the first round of the Australian Open earlier this year. Having underperformed at the season's first Major, he will be keen to make amends at the upcoming Major.
