There he played third seedAlexander Zverev on Court Phillipe Chatrier where he was defeated in three sets.[citation needed]Cobolli started his grass season inHalle where he dispatchedJoao Fonseca, saving a match point in the process, andDenis Shapovalov to reach the quarterfinals. In a rematch of their French Open match, Cobolli faced Zverev who again defeated him.[citation needed] Despite this, Cobolli reached a career high ranking of No. 24.[3]
At the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, Cobolli was the 22nd seed. In the first round he defeated qualifierZhukayev and local wildcardPinnington Jones to achieve his best result at Wimbledon by reaching the third round.[citation needed] There he easily defeated 15th seedJakub Menšík in straight sets to reach his first slam second week.[citation needed] In the fourth round, he faced Cilic again for the second time in a Grand Slam this season.
