Flavio Cobolli vs Jack Pinnington Jones prediction
Flavio Cobolli has made another slow start to a season, as he comes into the Dalles Open on the back of three losses. He suffered an early exit at the Australian Open after a straight sets defeat to Arthur Fery in round one. The Italian then competed at the Open Occitanie, but he continued his dismal record against Luca Nardi as he was soundly beaten in straight sets. While Cobolli ended up enjoying a breakthrough 2025, with the first two titles of his career, he did begin the year poorly, and a similar theme has emerged a year later.
He goes up against Jack Pinnington Jones. The Brit has shown some encouraging form over the past few weeks, which included a run to the final of a Challenger event in Soma Bay. Though he was forced to retire from that match against Lloyd Harris, Pinnington Jones won his two qualifying matches in Dallas to ensure a first ATP main draw appearance of the season.
Cobolli leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a straight sets win at Wimbledon last year on his way to the title. The Italian will be expected to win, but he is not performing anywhere near his usual standards at the moment. Pinnington Jones should be encouraged and will look to apply pressure early on.
