Flavio Cobolli's grandfather came to the rescue to find a house for the Italian to stay in after he beat Alex de Minaur to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals, extending his visit to south-west London.
Cobolli reached the French Open final in June and played just one singles match on grass in the build-up to Wimbledon, losing in straight sets to Frances Tiafoe.
However, the ninth seed produced an impressive performance to beat Australia's De Minaur 7-5 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 and reach the last eight for the second year in a row.
Asked what he would do to recover, Cobolli said: "Ice cream and today my dad cooks pasta with tomato and onion.
"It's the World Cup so I want to see Spain and Portugal. I hope I can go early to the house but first of all we have to find one.
