TORINO (ITALPRESS) – “Lorenzo will have to make evaluations with me at the end of the Finals and we will certainly find a shared position”. So the captain of the blue team of Coppa Davis, Filippo Volandri, in the press conference, in Turin, in the margin of the Atp Finals, about the news of the last hours, that is the probable forfait of Lorenzo Musetti for the Finals of Davis, on stage in Bologna from 18 to 23 November. Musetti comes from a long and tiring season and is currently engaged in the capital of Piedmont in the “Master” at the end of the year.
“It will depend on how Musetti will feel at the end of these Atp Finals. I repeat, we will decide together, evaluating a number of factors, not only the physical one. Now Lorenzo must focus on the important tournament he is playing. I always keep six, seven, eight players ready. I have the availability of Sonego and Darderi in case of absence. Let’s see how the Atp Finals end and then decide the final team. For Musetti there is not only the speech about the accumulated fatigue but also the fact that next week should become a father”, added Volandri, who for Bologna called Bolelli, Vavassori, Musetti, Cobolli and Berrettini.
The eventual absence of the Tuscan tennis player would be submerged to that of Jannik Sinner, already certain. “I am grateful to the boys for the past four years together. Sinner’s absence at the Bologna Finals was also too much talked about. It is a choice, its, which must be normalized. He played for four consecutive years in Davis and won it twice. If you decide to take a break, your decision must be respected. We have a long rose, with so many strong players: without this we would not have won twice the Davis. For this reason I am also serene in view of the imminent Finals of Bologna”, said the captain of the blue team.
“Bolelli and Vavassori? They’re good, they’re playing best, especially this week. They’ve been doing one of the best games here since they play together. I hope to see them Monday in Bologna and I hope that they bring in the group not only good results but also their charge”, concluded Volandri.
