From our correspondent – Masterful performance by Andrea Vavassori And Simone Bolelli on Pietrangeli. The public responded while still present and in a Davis Cup atmosphere supported the two home tennis players from the first to the last exchange, singing the famous “Po-po-po-po-po-po-poo” several times.
The Italian pair were no exception, because they put on a show and managed the complicated match brilliantly, winning with a score of 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 17 minutes against Wesley Koolhof And Nikola Mektic. After Jasmine Paolini And Sara Errani – both present on the pitch to support their compatriots – Vavassori and Bolelli will also have the chance to reach the final at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.
To achieve this goal they will have to beat the competition of Marcelo Arevalo And Mate Pavic.
