“Maybe today I do not sleep very well, also because I’ve the flight very early. I already took it. I need to go home straight and fast as potential. Of course, from tomorrow I’ll reset my thoughts, of course.

“I think I go to make two days off with my girlfriend, maybe easier to forget about this loss. Still, like I said before, I’m a quarter-finalist of a Grand Slam, so I have to be happy about myself.”

Cobolli returns to Italy with a £480,000 (around $640,000) examine that he can money when he will get home. He is also assured tickets to Wimbledon for life after becoming a member of the Last 8 membership.

“I felt the game of Arthur was really good for him, the way that I played, and I think the perfect game for him,” Cobolli added.

“I think that I didn’t play good since the first point of the match. Maybe I was a little bit nervous. Maybe I felt the pressure that normally I don’t feel.

“Play a quarterfinal against a man that already performed marathon match, many hours on court, rating decrease than me, so I felt prefer it was a probability to have a good day for me today.

“Maybe, like my team says, I wasn’t so humble since the first point, but I felt that it wasn’t my day. Can happens. But still quarterfinal in Grand Slam, so I’m still happy.”
