World No. 31 Tomas Machac will face World No. 22 Flavio Cobolli in the first round of the 2025 Vienna Open on Wednesday, October 22. Here’s our Tomas Machac vs Flavio Cobolli prediction. This preview will also include a Tomas Machac vs Flavio Cobolli pick.

Tomas Machac vs Flavio Cobolli Preview

Tomas Machac fell out of the world’s top 30 after winning just 23 matches this season. He’s lost 17 times and has retired five times. The Czech’s fitness troubles have continued to resurface frequently and he quit from his last match at the Shanghai Masters, where he trailed Valentin Vacherot by a set and a break.

Machac hasn’t played since, and it’s been nearly three weeks. The 25-year-old’s 2025 season started brightly. He reached the third round of the Australian Open and then won his first ATP title in Acapulco just a couple of months later. But as injuries wrecked his momentum, Machac’s only highlight in the second half of the season was the fourth-round finish at the US Open.

Flavio Cobolli was a top 20 player this season, but the Italian finds himself a couple of spots outside that club. Cobolli is making his second appearance at the Vienna Open. Last year, he retired from his second-round match against Alex de Minaur due to injury.

Cobolli has won 34 matches and lost 26 times. He is 4-4 indoors and is coming off a quarterfinal run in Almaty, where he suffered a shock defeat to James Duckworth. Like Machac, Cobolli also broke his duck on the ATP Tour, winning his first ATP title in Bucharest and then adding a second in Hamburg, both on clay courts. The 23-year-old became a Grand Slam quarterfinalist at Wimbledon, where he lost to Novak Djokovic in four sets.

Tomas Machac vs Flavio Cobolli Head-To-Head

Machac and Cobolli have met three times at all levels. The Czech leads 3-0 in the head-to-head and won their most recent match at the 2025 United Cup.

Tomas Machac vs Flavio Cobolli Prediction

A healthy Machac would be a strong favorite to win this match. In fact, he’s beaten Cobolli from their days on the Challenger Tour and competing in qualifying at a Grand Slam. But the Machac’s body is a question mark too often (five retirements this season and multiple withdrawals) and it’s hard to rely on the Czech to grind out a victory against one of the players bursting with athleticism and grit. I’m leaning toward Cobolli and the plus money makes him a valuable pick.

Nur Said's Pick: Cobolli in three sets
