Marcell Jacobs and Filippo Tortu rejoice
World Cup, statements
The Italian sprinters spoke after brilliantly qualifying for the World Championships in Budapest.
Roberto Rigali: “After coming out of the blocks with the best reaction time of the battery, halfway through the corner I lost a foothold. Then I closed my eyes, pushed hard and the change with Jacobs è came out well”. Marcell Jacobs: “Happy with how I raced, as I race I find more and more feeling. Today there’s a completely different energy: it’s not an individual race, it’s the whole of Italy running together with us and we give 200 percent. We are at a World Cup and to be able to find the form right here’s what counts. Really happy to share this with them and when saw I Filippo cross the finish line, I è got goosebumps from the’emotion”. Lorenzo Patta: “I was coming from injury and I was somber today, basically I didn’t speak all day. This è the chrono that represents our value, not a time around 38.30 as in the first part of the season, and I am happy that it came at the right time”. Filippo Tortu: “We are brothers, a family. When I go into the field knowing that I am running for them too, I can do something more;. This è what I was worth, in the 200 I could not bring it out. It was the first time I started with two endorsements and not three. In the last 50 meters I was feeling a few pains, I held a little bit, but when I saw I was in front I almost preferred to manage. I did not notice the South African Simbine but è a result that we need to arrive more conscious tomorrow”.
Zaynab Dosso: “C’è it was a false start, but it didn’t bother me that much. Each of us wanted this, driven by the synergy of the group, and we could not go slow after the men” chrono. Dalia Kaddari: “Today è another day, after yesterday’s race in the 200 meters. The relay dà more energy, I am so happy”. Anna Bongiorni: “On the eve we had mentioned that we dream big, now we focus on doing better tomorrow. We can’t wait, we want to improve this time and for example, as for me, if I run like in the European final last year in Munich I can improve”. Alessia Pavese: “I have to realize what I did, but this è a track that pushes like crazy. When I took the baton and saw that we were third, I didn’t understand anymore and I gave everything. I am so charged up, I feel like a spring”.

“It doesn’t seem real to me. It’s amazing to have this trophy in my hands, I”m so excited. Smiling and incredulous stands Jasmine Paolini with the Cup in her hand savoring her triumph at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. First Italian player able to impose herself in the home tournament thanks to a two-set victory over the American Coco Gauff. “Congratulations to you Coco for this final, keep it up you and your team, good luck for the coming weeks”.
With the protocol over, room for thanks. And there’s for everyone: “A thank you to my team and my family, my friends who always support me, it’s thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands today. Thank you to those who organized this tournament, to Fitp who always support us, the volunteers, the referees, the ball catchers, the public who have been special, the doctors, Dr. Parra who always supports me, they are always with us, it is a behind-the-scenes job that really weighs a lot”.
And then it is just and still emotion. Overwhelming, that you cannot say or describe but only savor. Smiling, as always, without forgetting where you started from and the’last step that is still missing to make this edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia truly unforgettable: “I do not know what else to say, it is a dream to be here. I came as a child to watch this tournament and to think one day that I could lift this cup was not even in my dreams. Thank you for supporting President Mattarella, at the end of last year we went to the Quirinal and this time we managed to bring him to the Foro Italico. It has been a dream two weeks, it is not over yet, tomorrow we have the doubles, I am not forgetting, we have to stay focused and I hope you will come a little bit earlier to see the doubles final because we need you”.
Beforehand, however, it was Coco Gauff, beaten but not defeated, who paid tribute to her for her success: “I am happy to have made it to the final in Rome and I am happy for you Jas for your victory – began the former US Open champion – You are a wonderful person. It’s always tough to face you and I hope you can bring home the trophy tomorrow in doubles as well. I will bring home this cup and I know how much work we have done to get it. It will be for next time”.

Charles Leclerc is furious after Imola qualifying: “The first thing to do is to apologize to the fans, it hurts the team as well. Such a level of performance is not acceptable and we have to react”.
“Aston Martin was smart with the tires. We can flip the tires, put the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front, but the car doesn’t go enough. I have been saying this for a while’there is no potential in the car”.
He was echoed by Lewis Hamilton: “I am devastated, we worked so hard for this my first race in Italy with Ferrari. The car was going, I thought we would be there. But we couldn’t pass and we have to analyze why everyone improved and we didn’t. I do not have an answer at the moment”.
“The setup wasn’t perfect, but we couldn’t go any faster than that. We mounted the new tire, but for some reason it didn’t go and had no life left in it. We struggle to use the tires, I in my lap I don”t think I did anything wrong.

In the final, with President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in the stands,- the 29-year-old from Bagni di Lucca, No. 5 in the ranking and No. 6 in the seeding, defeated 6-4 6-2, in an hour and 29 minutes of play, the U.S. Coco Gauff, No. 3 WTA and fourth seed.
