Flavio Cobolli’s grandfather came to the rescue to find a house for the Italian to stay in after he beat Alex de Minaur to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals, extending his visit to south-west London.<\/p>\n
Cobolli reached the French Open final in June and played just one singles match on grass in the build-up to Wimbledon, losing in straight sets to Frances Tiafoe.<\/p>\n
However, the ninth seed produced an impressive performance to beat Australia’s De Minaur 7-5 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 and reach the last eight for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n
Asked what he would do to recover, Cobolli said: “Ice cream and today my dad cooks pasta with tomato and onion.<\/p>\n
“It’s the World Cup so I want to see Spain and Portugal. I hope I can go early to the house but first of all we have to find one.<\/p>\n
“We have our luggage at the old house and now we have to find [a new] one. <\/p>\n
“Maybe you guys have a house here in Wimbledon?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flavio Cobolli’s grandfather came to the rescue to find a house for the Italian to stay in after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746886,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-746885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
