The words of Filippo Volandri

Filippo Volandri spoke in a press conference after the end of the last Davis Cup match in Bologna: "It's a result that we all achieved together, the week è was crazy, I have to thank the guys and all the people who are working behind them: they are many and everyone did their part. I also have to thank the guys who were not here, I can only bring five but I have twice as many as I could have brought here. It was a constant struggle, including the last doubles, these are matches that you win or lose by very few points, and I won&#39t stop thanking the guys for their willingness, for being there in others'difficulties. They have, and I don't know what else to ask them".

"I don&#39t know when he&#39s going to make the summonses, those of a couple of months before are of little use, what we have understood è that what matters è is how the boys are a week before and è that is the most delicate part because I have to tell someone that he is not going to be part of the team, but that è also the part that takes us all the way. Last year we had to sweat it out, and even today despite the qualification already acquired, we stressed that we deserved it and November è still far".

Frugal comment on the draw and what our opponents might be: "I have no idea what happened in the other rounds. We were focused on ourselves, I spent so many hours sitting on the bench, now I hear about Australia or Argentina, but I really spent very little time on the other rounds and from next week we will start thinking about it".
