Cobolli Eliminated by Burruchaga in Straight Sets
Flavio Cobolli’s campaign in Umago ended in the first round after a 6-2, 6-4 defeat to Roman Andres Burruchaga. The match began poorly for the Italian, who committed a double fault in the opening game and struggled to find his rhythm throughout the first set. According to Sky Sport reporting, Cobolli failed to generate significant pressure on Burruchaga’s serve, allowing the Argentine to dictate play.
Although Cobolli managed to force an immediate break back in the second set to level the score at 4-4, further unforced errors—including another double fault—allowed Burruchaga to regain the lead. Burruchaga ultimately served out the match, securing his first career win over a top-10 opponent and eliminating the last Roland Garros finalist.
