Winner to face Auger-Aliassime or Marozsan in R3.

Wimbledon 2025 breakout star Flavio Cobolli returns for North American redemption after a poor outing in Washington DC, as he faces Alexis Galarneau in the 2025 Canadian Open Round of 64 on Wednesday. While the Italian is the No. 13 seed this week, Galarneau will receive the unrelenting backing of the home crowd in Toronto. This will be the first match in the head-to-head between these players.

Flavio Cobolli vs Alexis Galarneau Match Preview

The head-to-head record between Cobolli and Galarneau currently stands at 0-0. The 23-year-old Italian is one of the very few players to win multiple titles in 2025. He has captured the trophies in Bucharest and Hamburg so far. Meanwhile, Galarneau is still searching for his first championship run on tour. The Canadian is ranked No. 193 in the world, and comes into this encounter with a tour-level main draw record of 0-2 so far.

The 26-year-old wildcard advanced to the Round of 64 with a confidence-boosting 7-6(2) 6-3 win over the experienced Arthur Rinderknech of France. He remained steadfast in his approach, and weathered the storm to progress. However, the Cobolli challenge will be a level above. The World No. 17 is striking the ball better than ever. He boasts a success rate of just under 60% in 2025, and also reached the last eight at the Wimbledon Championships.

Flavio Cobolli vs Alexis Galarneau ATP National Bank Open 2025 Prediction

Expect a baseline heavy game, as both players enjoy the battle from the back of the court. At Wimbledon, Cobolli wasn’t afraid to challenge Novak Djokovic in groundstrokes exchanges, which showcases his fearless approach. While there is a bit of cloud cover expected in Toronto on Wednesday, the temperatures are still going to be high. We predict Cobolli to overcome Galarneau and the Canadian crowd to get his campaign up and running.

Prediction: Flavio Cobolli in three sets.
