Italy’s Flavio Cobolli upsets Andrey Rublev to win Hamburg Open title

Hamburg: Italy’s Flavio Cobolli clinched the biggest title of his career when he upset third seed Andrey Rublev 6-2, 6-4 in the final at the Hamburg Open on Saturday.

Ranked number 35 in the world, Cobolli had only one ATP 250 title to his name, having won the Romanian Open last month, but the 23-year-old now has two claycourt titles after beating Rublev in the final of the ATP 500 event.

He is just the third player to win multiple titles on the ATP Tour this year after Carlos Alcaraz (three) and Felix Auger-Aliassime (also two), while the victory will see him rise to a career-high 26th in the rankings.

“I think it is the best moment and match of my life for sure. I have to say sorry to Andrey because today I played unbelievable. I am so happy and proud of myself,” Cobolli said. Agencies
