On Sunday at the Emila-Romagna Open Tommy Paul took out Italian Stefano Travaglia 7-5, 6-4 to reach the second round.

Paul has proven to be a big threat on clay, pushing Dominic Thiem to four sets at Roland Garros in 2019 and challenging Casper Ruud in five sets in 2020. He awaits the winner of Steve Johnson and Jiri Vesely.

In the only other main-draw match, Italian wild card Flavio Cobolli won a dramatic marathon over Marcos Giron 3-6, 7-6(6), 7-6(4) in two hours and 34 minutes.

Cobolli, a 19-year-old ranked No. 446, was making his ATP Tour debut, having only played in the qualifying events of Rome in 2020 and 2021. He will take on fourth seed Jan-Lennard Struff in the second round.

The qualifying event concluded with wild card Raul Brancaccio, Pedro Martinez, Mikael Ymer and Daniel Altmaier securing places in the main draw.
