Davis Cup, Volandri dreams of an encore: “Anything is possible with Sinner.”
Blue CT sees Spain as team to beat
This is it. It’s back to talking about the Davis Cup. After the wonderful Italian success, here è is the new season, even more challenging but also very intriguing with Italy taking the court as defending champion. CT Volandri è is confident that the blue team can achieve other great results, especially after winning last November.
"We feel the responsibility; to repeat ourselves, Davis è a goal of ours for this and the next years and I am sure we can win it again, becauseé we have the right qualities. Però I donò t deny that the success of November somehow took a weight off us, we will no longer have to play with the tension on us of a result that never comes despite expectations", the words of Volandri himself to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian CT believes that Spain, especially if he can field Alcaraz and Nadal together, can be the team to beat in this new edition: "At the moment, I say Spain, because" it hosts a round and the Finals at home and could have Nadal next to Alcaraz. Then United States, because of the depth of the roster and Canada if they are all doing well. And France and Germany have great traditions, let’s not forget that".
Of course, there is no shortage of jokes about Sinner, the new ace of Italian tennis and Italy's dragger at the last Davis Cup: "With such a champion, Italy will always be in the front row to win Davis, also becauseé he is surrounded by teammates of great technical and human depth", Volandri's own commentary.
