Flavio Cobolli defeated Marin Cilic 6–4, 6–4, 6–7, 7–6 in the Wimbledon round of 16 on grass on 7 July 2025, confirming his status as the pre-match favourite with odds of 1.88 to Cilic's 2.03. Cobolli controlled the opening two sets decisively, establishing a commanding position before Cilic mounted a late challenge in the third set, forcing a tie-break that the Croatian narrowly claimed. The fourth set followed a similar pattern, with Cobolli reasserting dominance in the deciding tie-break to secure passage to the quarter-finals. The result extends Cobolli's grass-court credentials at the All England Club and maintains his momentum in a Grand Slam where consistency has proved decisive.
