The Azzurri against Canada on Wednesday in Bologna. Today the group stage begins which will take the top 8 teams to the finals in Malaga
From tomorrow Italy will compete for access to the November Finals at the Unipol Arena in Bologna which brought us luck last year. Despite the absences of Sinner – new No. 7 ATP, who lost a position – who gave up to recover from the American efforts, of Berrettini due to injury and of Fognini due to the coach’s technical choice with a controversial aftermath, we remain very favorites against Canada, the reigning champion a little disarmed but which still brought Shapovalov, Chile (perhaps the most solid) and Sweden, which after the retirement of number Mikael Ymer could field Leo Borg, son of Bjorn, as the starter.
musetti n.1

Musetti, our best-ranked player (18), will have to take on the role of the leader in the Italian debut against the Canadians, he will face a challenging test against Shapovalov, who however has not played since Wimbledon. For the Carrarino it will be the opportunity to erase the bad performance in New York: “The last tournament didn’t go as I hoped but there is no better place than this – he said -. Being with this group that I consider friends, like a family, it’s good for me, it gives me great motivation.” Sonego should be number two, but Arnaldi who comes from the eighth Slam at Flushing Meadows is more of an alternative. Meanwhile, captain Volandri preaches serenity and trust: “The approach will not leave waste, we need to face what happens together, but for some time now we have only been talking about what awaits us on the pitch. We are a team, there is a wonderful atmosphere”.
RENTAL IN VALENCIA
—
Davis is one of Djokovic’s seasonal goals, fresh from his triumph in New York, who arrives today in Valencia and will therefore in all likelihood watch Serbia’s debut against Korea from the bench, before dedicating himself to the cause against the Czech Republic and above all Spain, last-minute orphan of Carlos Alcaraz, hurt by elimination in the semifinals at the US Open. The Manchester group with veterans Murray and Wawrinka and De Minaur’s Australia is the most balanced.
