Form & Outlook
Cobolli has shown flashes of brilliance this season, but consistency remains elusive. A balanced 48–48 career W/L record reflects a player still finding his rhythm on the ATP tour.
Rune, on the other hand, has already proven himself at the top level, showing resilience, power, and versatility. Despite a few recent dips in form, his 5–2 clay record in 2025 shows he’s back in solid shape for this part of the season.
Surface Analysis
Clay is where Rune’s creative shot-making thrives. He’s more experienced on the surface and has already beaten Cobolli on it. Cobolli will need to bring his best returning game and aggressive court positioning to disrupt Rune’s rhythm.
Flavio Cobolli vs Holger Rune Prediction
Rune has more weapons, more wins, and more experience on the big stage. Unless Cobolli comes out red-hot and keeps Rune on the defensive, it’s hard to see the Italian getting his revenge here.
Prediction: Holger Rune in 2 sets.
