Feliciano Lopez moves beyond the absences of Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini

The words of Feliciano Lopez

Davis Cup director Feliciano Lopez gave an interview to Punto de Break in which he defended the competition, going beyond the absences of Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini. "We dwell on the negative images and not the positive ones. In Bologna there were 10 thousand people following Italy without Sinner and Berrettini,” he pointed out. “On the court there was Sonego with Galarneau and 10 thousand people in the stands, it means that Italy wants to see tennis and cheers for its national team".

"We have to take these cases as a reference,” added Lopez.’The fans and the fans are the beauty of this competition. The’enthusiasm of being able to cheer for your country. We are available to evaluate any transformation if it helps to solve the problem".

The Davis Cup will return to Malaga for the Finals, scheduled for Nov. 21-26 at the Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena. Captain Volandri’s Azzurri will face the Netherlands, and in the event, of passing the round, could face Novak Djokovic’s Serbia or Andy Murray’s Great Britain in the semifinals.
