A team never seen before played in Turin, from the captain to Jannik, from Musetti to Lorenzo. The latter, who took over from the injured Berrettini, dedicated the success to him
Filippo Volandri, from Davis, has played many, but the first time as captain, sitting on the bench to suffer (luckily a very relative suffering thanks to the performance of his boys) he never forgets. Excited, tense, the former number 25 in the world can only applaud his friends: “They were all extraordinary – he said after the 2-1 against the USA -. I was very excited, but I decided not to fight this feeling, I wanted to be overwhelmed by this new sensation and enjoy it to the full ».
Lorenzo Sonego gave him the first joy of the day with an impeccable match, Sinner closed the game by giving John Isner just two games: “Sonny was extraordinary, he played a perfect tie break, he really wanted to do well in front of everyone his friends, in his city. And Jannik showed a sensational, extraordinary maturity. He looked like a veteran. Even the double, with Musetti’s debut, was a beautiful discovery beyond the defeat against a very strong duo and expert “. Now there is Colombia, on paper much less dangerous than the US, especially in light of the Azzurri’s performance: “We have put in a first brick, we still have a complicated commitment ahead of us. They have very strong doubts and great fighters in singles. We remain focused. “.

Jannik Sinner was greeted by the Italian public with another ovation. After his debut at the Finals, Davis praised him even more. Thanks to that shirt that changes your perception of the pitch a little, which raises the fight to another level: “The shirt with ‘Italy’ written and the flag on the chest means a lot to me – he said after the match dominated with Isner -. I think it’s the best shirt I’ve had this year. The night I got it I immediately put it on to see how I was. ” A blue that lights up the red of Italian tennis, at the first experience in the team: “When you are part of a team you can ask for advice from other players such as Fognini and Bolelli who have a lot of experience. For me it is an honor to play in the Davis Cup. I have seen many Italy matches on TV and I am proud to be part of this group “.
Sonny for Berrettini

Lorenzo Sonego was the most awaited at the Pala Alpitour, he who was born and raised in Turin wanted to make a good impression in front of the friends who came to cheer him on. And an extra motivation was also given by Matteo Berrettini, n. 1 injured, that Davis sees her in spite of herself as a spectator after the injury in the Finals: “Matteo wrote to me yesterday to say good luck. I would have liked to share these emotions with him. For me it was devastating to see how much he is success. This victory is also for him “. And then, he revealed the secret of the break against Opelka: “On the 4-3 at the sports hall they played my song, obviously it was easier to break …”.
