Tennis, Binaghi does not forget: “Sinner we defended him.”

Fifth nation to have won, in the same year, Davis Cup and BJ King Cup

A historic moment for Italian tennis. Sinner and his teammates lifted the second consecutive Davis Cup to the sky. A triumph for the Italian movement, which, a few days earlier, celebrated the girls’ victory in BJ King Cup. Italy è the fifth nation to have won, in the same year, Davis Cup and BJ King Cup.

Binaghi, number one in Italian tennis, enjoys a wonderful year for Italy's racket: "In tennis we were last. The second time in Davis has a different meaning, because it makes it clear that in tennis we are the strongest in the world. And given that tennis è one of the most popular sports in the world, I think it is wonderful news for our country", his words reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Fitp president congratulates everyone, not forgetting anyone, but also removes a small pebble from his shoe. The reference è to Sinner and the many criticisms he received, several months ago, when he seemed not to be interested in the blue jersey.

"The stories of Paolini and Errani, of Berrettini who last year pulls up the team without being able to play, this year comes back, plays and wins six out of six matches. Of Sinner who skipped Bologna last year and they slaughtered him, we defended him and he brought two Davis…", his closing remarks.
