Filippo Volandri, the Azzurri captain, had already smelled the smell of burning and diplomatically declared yesterday: “Jannik concluded an extremely physical and intense match with Zverev. The most important thing now is that he recover. This takes time, so he need to rest and recover – he declared -. Only his body can give him an answer. We are in contact with him and are waiting for him to give us updates, aware however that we still have a team up to the task that awaits us in Bologna” .

This year the group stage presents us again the match against Canada which, however, has to do without Shapovalov (struggling with a break from tennis) and Felix Aliassime, in crisis of form and results. Even Sweden on paper is clearly inferior to the Azzurri while the toughest rival is certainly Jarry and Garin’s Chile. Volandri on Monday will have to officially present the team made up of Lorenzo Musetti as number 1, Lorenzo Sonego, Matteo Arnaldi and the Bolelli-Vavassori couple for the doubles. Fabio Fognini, who is playing in Genoa in the Challenger and had come out of the Como tournament bruised, will observe (some of his utterances on the pitch made noise) a rest session but he too could return for November.
