Revealed: Wimbledon star is KICKED OUT of his accommodation mid-tournament and is in a race against time to find a new home
One Wimbledon player has found himself frantically house-hunting ahead of his next match. Italy's Flavio Cobolli has already had to contend with no air conditioning and interrupted sleep but now has a new problem after defeating Britain's Jack Pinnington-Jones. Despite making Wimbledon's third round for the very first time in his career, Cobolli had bigger stresses on his mind in the immediate aftermath. 'I have to move house! Cobolli explained. 'The lady hasn't renewed our contract.' Local residents often rent out their homes so that players and their teams can reside there for as long as they are involved in the championships. But that presents challenges when players go further than they initially anticipated. "Yes, I have to move house,' Cobolli said, as per Eurosport. 'The lady didn't renew our contract. What should I do, move house halfway through the tournament?' If Cobolli thinks he's had it tough, spare a thought for Lucky Loser Solana Sierra. She had never won a main draw match at a Grand Slam before Wimbledon and that didn't look set to change until she got entry with one of the Lucky Loser spots. Sierra, who has since gone on to oust Katie Boulter, has had to change apartment three times already. 'I lost in the third round of qualis, so we already changed like three times,' joked Sierra after beating Boulter. On Friday Sierra defeated Spain's Cristina Bucsa to reach round four. But back to Cobolli, he was asked about his air conditioning troubles and he learned that the problem is affecting plenty of players. 'No, no, we didn't complain,' he added. 'We didn't have anything to deal with the heat, but I spoke to many players and the situation is the same for everyone. 'It wasn't a problem with the house, but when you find yourself unable to sleep like I did, you always try to find a solution. But now they've kicked us out. 'Now we hope to find [a new place]. The hotel? They're far away here. I went to dinner in Chelsea, it took me an hour and 20 minutes. The hotel is the last resort!'

Wimbledon prize money ‘peanuts' in the tennis world
The 22-year-old debutant – a close friend of British number one Jack Draper – made the most of his SW19 wild card by beating Tomas Etcheverry in his opening match before going down in straights sets to 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli in round two. Pinnington Jones pocketed £99,000 for an impressive impact at his maiden major tournament – a small sum in professional tennis but one which could prove pivotal for his fledgling career. Jack Pinnington Jones is beaten by the 22nd seed at @Wimbledon But plenty for Jack to build on this week including a memorable debut win#BackTheBrits 🇬🇧 | #Wimbledon — LTA (@the_LTA) July 3, 2025 Away from the glamour of the Championships, the world number 281 is back living with his parents and three younger sisters in the Surrey village of Cobham after opting not to complete the final year of his studies at Texas Christian University. 'I'm in it for the long haul – if I can get to grand slam main draws, that's what I want for my life,' said Pinnington Jones. 'I'm ready to stick it out and go through ups and down in my career that I know are going to come my way. 'It's a weight off my back knowing that I can fund my tennis myself without going through my parents. That's huge to me. 'I'm looking at it as an investment. It's peanuts to what tennis players can make. Jack Pinnington Jones, right, following his defeat to Flavio Cobolli (Adam Davy/PA) 'I want to be a top 100 tennis player in the world. I want to try and maximise my potential. Hopefully it will pay off in the long run.' Pinnington Jones intends to use his windfall to invest in a personal trainer, book his coach and a travelling physio for certain weeks of the tennis calendar and, potentially, move into his own home. He was guaranteed £66,000 for being in the main draw before adding an additional £33,000 thanks to Tuesday's statement straight-sets win over 2023 French Open quarter-finalist Etcheverry. Thursday's Court 18 meeting with world number 24 Cobolli proved a step too far, albeit Pinnington Jones squandered a set point in the second-set tie-break. He will play golf and celebrate with family and friends in the coming days before returning to action in next week's Nottingham Challenger event with the aim of securing a qualifying place for the US Open. Jack Pinnington Jones, pictured, beat Tomas Etcheverry on his grand slam debut (John Walton/PA) 'I'm very proud of myself in how I've handled the whole experience,' said Pinnington Jones, who has no regrets about prematurely ending his education. 'Today it's invaluable for me to play such a good player and see the clear things in my game that I need to work on if I want any chance of getting my ranking up and actually earn my place here (without a wild card). 'Obviously I'm nowhere near where I want to be, so it's just I've shown I can do it. It's about now delivering it on the practice court day in, day out and just trying to be more consistent with my level. 'It gives me a lot of belief that one day I can be here.'
