In Bari Azzurri on the hunt for the first title, to decide the challenges between Bronzetti-Andreeescu and Cobolli-Auger aliassime
Italy will challenge Canada on Sunday 20 July in the final (starting from 17.30) of the Hopman Cup, a prestigious team team trophy in Bari. The North American served a point in the challenge against Greece to reach the Azzurri, and arrived immediately thanks to Bianca Andreescu, who clearly beat Despina Papamichail 6-1 6-2 in just over an hour. The game between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger Aliassime, which perhaps serves more to Greek to find a state of shape lost for a long time, too long.

Like names on the pitch, Italy and Canada were probably the greatest suspects to challenge each other in the final, and did not betray the expectations. It will be the third comparison between the two national teams in Hopman Cup, all of course in Australia, until a few years ago it was the home of this great prestigious event, then put aside for the ATP Cup. The two teams challenged each other in Perth in 2014 and 2015. In both challenges, the Canadians had the best. In the first case, with a clear 3-0, while the following year he ended 2-1. A final that promises to be very balanced, with Italy dreaming of winning Hopman for the first time in history for an incredible triple after the triumphs in Davis and the Bjk Cup.

There are no precedents between Bronzetti and the Andreescu, but Bianca is a fabulous player unfortunately stopped by too many injuries, but still capable of winning a Slam (US Open 2019 by beating Serena Williams in the final) and to enter the Top 5. Between Cobolli and Augner Aliassime to command is Flavio for 2-0, both challenges were played on the cement of Acapulco and Montreal.
