Deep in the third set Cobolli capped a gruelling 27-shot rally with a wrong-footing forehand winner, raising his fist to the crowd in a signal of intent to his title rivals.<\/p>\n
However, his attention swiftly turned to the UEFA Champions League final later on Saturday between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. <\/p>\n
\u201cToday, I don\u2019t want to talk about tennis, there is the final of the Champions League,\u201d insisted Cobolli, an ardent AS Roma fan, who was a former youth player at the Serie A club.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball was my first passion, I played football before tennis and I played with Riccardo Calafiori. I also like PSG because I love Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know who I will cheer for. I\u2019m going to cheer for the best match ever with more than one goal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deep in the third set Cobolli capped a gruelling 27-shot rally with a wrong-footing forehand winner, raising his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":704542,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":["post-704541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=704541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704541\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=704541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=704541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=704541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
