United Cup, Italy flies to the quarters: Cobolli and Paolini enthusiastic

Flavio Cobolli and Jasmine Paolini dragged Italy to the United Cup quarterfinals after a clear victory over France (3-0). The Tuscan left no chance to Chloe Paquet (6-0 6-2), while the Roman è won in a comeback over Ugo Humbert (3-6 7-6 6-2). Finally, in doubles, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori defeated Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Elixan Lechemia in two sets (6-3 7-6).

"I think I played a really solid match,” the world No. 4 commented at a press conference. “I’m happy with my performance. I think everything works pretty well. I’m also happy that Flavio won an incredible match. He was down a set and with a break down, he turned the match around. Incredible, bravo Flavio".

"Really tough match today,” Cobolli admitted. It’s always tough to take back a match like that, but I did it and I’m very happy with the performance. I think my tennis today was really very good. The atmosphere even on the bench was great. È it was nice to have Sara Errani talking to me at every point, now we go to the quarterfinals".

Now in the quarters probably one between Great Britain and Australia: "I don’t like to say that. I don’t even like to think which team or which opponent will be better. When you think one is better, you play against him or her and you lost. I prefer to just focus on what will happen in the next round. We will, of course, watch the’other game" Paolini closed.
