Flavio Cobolli will face off against Joao Fonseca on Day 1 of the 2025 Laver Cup in San Francisco. This is their second meeting of the year, and the winner will add a point to the collective for their respective teams. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Flavio Cobolli has earned his first Laver Cup call-up and will represent Team Europe. The Italian, part of the six-man rotation, was chosen by team captain Yannick Noah. Having defeated Fonseca just three months ago, Cobolli will be confident of strengthening Team Europe’s chances of retaining their title.
The 23-year-old, who has compiled a 29-22 record, defeated Fonseca in three sets on grass in Halle. As the 25th-ranked player in the ATP, Cobolli is the lowest-ranked player for Team Europe.
Just like Cobolli, Joao Fonseca is also making his maiden appearance at the Laver Cup. The Brazilian, who has had a noticeable season, was confirmed as a Team World representative back in May.
This came after a bright start to the year that saw him win a maiden tour title in Buenos Aires. At only 19, Fonseca has produced third-round finishes at the French Open and Wimbledon.
With a 33-15 record, Fonseca is ranked 42nd in the ATP. He is coming off a strong display at the Davis Cup, where he won both of his matches.

Our Flavio Cobolli vs Joao Fonseca Prediction
Our prediction for Flavio Cobolli v Joao Fonseca is that Joao Fonseca wins the match. Cobolli has a head-to-head advantage over Fonseca as he won their most recent meeting three months ago. However, we do not have him as our pick to win this tie. This is because he often struggles when competing on indoor hard courts.
This year, the Italian has lost both times he has taken to such surfaces and has also compiled a losing record indoors in his career. Fonseca, on his part, is much more comfortable competing indoors and has won almost 70% of his duels on such surfaces. The Brazilian also arrives for this match having seen his form improve recently.
