This is a second-round clash at the Mutua Madrid Open, featuring the in-form Holger Rune and the rising Italian talent Flavio Cobolli. While both players have had their moments this season, the gap in class and current momentum clearly favours the Danish star, who comes into this match after winning the ATP 500 title in Barcelona.
Flavio Cobolli vs Holger Rune Preview
Holger Rune has once again established himself as one of the top contenders on clay. His performance in Barcelona was dominant, showing improved shot selection, mental stability, and physical endurance. Rune thrives on faster clay surfaces like Madrid’s, where his aggressive baseline play and footwork allow him to control rallies with ease. With several days of rest due to a first-round bye, Rune will be fresh and motivated to extend his winning streak.
Flavio Cobolli is a young Italian player with solid clay-court skills, but he still lacks the composure and high-level consistency needed to take on top-tier opponents. While he has picked up some good wins this season, most of them came against lower-ranked or Challenger-level players. Against elite competition, he often struggles to keep up with the pace and intensity.

Flavio Cobolli vs Holger Rune – Match Analysis
Given Rune’s current form, this match should be straightforward. Cobolli’s game lacks the punch and variety to trouble the Dane, especially on a clay surface where Rune is already a proven threat. Rune will look to dominate from the baseline, use his kick serve effectively, and pressure Cobolli into defensive positions. While Cobolli might manage a few solid holds early on, the longer the match goes, the clearer Rune’s superiority will become.
Betting Tip – Flavio Cobolli vs Holger Rune
All signs point to a comfortable win for Holger Rune. He’s coming off a title run, is well-rested, and faces an opponent who is still finding his place at this level. The value lies in backing Holger Rune to win in straight sets (2-0) or Rune -4.5 Games on the Asian Handicap, expecting a clean and composed performance from one of the most promising young talents on clay. Still, I will not risk with the pick and I will get a clear win on the moneyline.
