Vavassori and doubles in Davis: “Either me and Bolelli, or Sinner with one of us.”

A memorable week, but new goals already in the crosshairs.

It è not gone as they would have hoped, but this week will forever remain in the hearts of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori. "I will forever rememberò the victory against Bopanna/Ebden, the highlight of my season", says Vavassori. "I saw my father’s tears, I had so many special people to support me closely: è it was special". Despite the bitterness in his mouth, the Turin-based player does not throw himself away already: "We are already one of the strongest pairs in the world and in the history of Italian tennis, we still have a lot to give".

Simone Bolelli also spoke next, reiterating his thoughts on the current format: "These matches are decided in two minutes, we need to bring the big events back to the format of two out of three. No doubles player è agrees with this format". He is echoed by Vavassori: "It is one thing to have 250 or 500 tournaments where you have to speed up, it is another thing to have big tournaments like this or the Olympics. Here there'è an audience that pays a ticket at even very high amounts: the more ù the show è long, the more; the audience enjoys it. We hope that for Finals and Olympics we can return to the old rules".

Finally, space also for the hottest topic these days, doubles in Davis Cup. Deploying one of the strongest pairs in the world or the No. 1 singles team? With whom, però possibly on the side? That is Volandri’s dilemma, which Vavassori tries to make more simple: "Jannik is having a fantastic season and è definitely an’option in doubles as well, but we are ready. Sinner scares opponents, smashes the ball, però unlike many things I read around I don’t see many alternatives. For me there are two solutions: either we play or Jannik plays with one of us", Wave concludes.

Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori’s hopes of qualifying for the next phase of the Nitto ATP Finals 2024 had been extinguished at the super tie-break. The Italian pair, in fact, had been defeated by the duo formed by Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic with the score of 6-3, 3-6, 10-3. Thoughts, however, have è already shifted to the upcoming Davis Cup.
