The’former blue winner of the’silver salad bowl in Santiago de Chile in 1976 and Davis Cup captain è then returned to the performance of Sinner and Lorenzo Sonego in doubles against the’Netherlands: "They played a good match but they have to be reviewed, it should be considered that against they had Griekspoor who had never played a doubles challenge. When you have a chance to put Jannik on the court you have solved most of the problems and it also applies to doubles. I think the pair will beà confirmed for today" match as well.
Finally, on the challenge between Italy and Serbia, he added: "I think it will be a balanced match, a lot depends on the form of the tennis players and no one one one of us canò know. The thing I know è that at the moment è very difficult to beat Djokovic. In doubles I think Nole will also playè but I don’t know against whom, we play on a few points".
