LONDON, July 6 (Reuters) - Flavio Cobolli ⁠continued the best Grand Slam run of his career on Monday by defeating Australian fifth seed Alex ⁠de Minaur 7-5 7-6(4) 6-3 and returning to the Wimbledon quarter-finals just weeks after his French ‌Open runner-up finish.

The ninth seed's battling display on Court One put him in the Wimbledon quarter-finals for a second straight year, and he will have a good chance to continue his surge with a wildcard looming in the next round.
