After Davis Cup encore, Filippo Volandri is already thinking about next year

The non-playing captain of Italy’s Davis Cup Filippo Volandri è beaming at Sky microphones immediately after winning the second “silver salad bowl’in a row, the third in Italian tennis history. Here are his words.

“I knew nothing was a given, then in the end the guys make it almost a given. Last year we told ourselves to try to make history and win two, the boys are going faster than we can think becauseé è came the next year“.

The captain then continued: “Last year Matteo couldn’t play here, we had made a pact to get him back and win it again with him, it was a little bit; the pact made with Jannik too and in the end it worked. This è the result of everyone’s work, with Arnaldi and Cobolli bringing us here“.

“We have been trying for three to four years to get doubles play on the circuit and we had never succeeded. I know these guys have very broad shoulders, Sinner is coming off a tremendous season and Berrettini can put the responsibility on his shoulders. I needed that with Argentina, and they brought it home“.

“If Jannik decides not to play the next Davis Cup? That would be understandable. To have had him here è it was an honor and a privilege, meanwhile we enjoy this and from tomorrow we think about the next one“.
