World number 22 Cobolli followed his compatriot with a commanding 6-1 6-3 victory over Austrian number one Filip Misolic.<\/p>\n

Cobolli echoed his team-mate’s sentiments in his post-match interview, saying: “We all want to win this cup and I felt the support of the bench, it was unbelievable. <\/p>\n
