The words of Filippo Volandri

With only a few days to go before the start of the group stage of the 2024 Davis Cup, Italy captain Filippo Volandri, speaking at the media day, was blunt about his feelings and the pressures his boys might have as defending champions. In addition, the former tennis player è also returned to the decision not to rely on Jannik Sinner, who will enjoy some rest after his extraordinary success at the US Open.

“Coming back here to Bologna as a world champion team è definitely a special feeling. It kind of passes you through the film of everything that è was the beginning of last year, forò what remains was 2023. Now we are ready to start again with new players and goals. The Davis Cup è particular and è full of surprises. Rankings do not count, so it will beè essential to face every match and every opponent with the same attention” began the Italian captain.

” Jannik has shown that he has very broad shoulders, few people really know what he has been through these months and we are very proud of what he is doing. There was the possibility of having both Sinner and Musetti here in Bologna, but we reasoned based on playing dates. Having them play three times in a few days after a Slam, two master 1000s and an Olympics could have been risky for them. Fortunately, we can rely on many players and that is why we decided to rest them” continued the former Italian tennis player regarding the decision not to call up the South Tyrolean and the Carrarese.

“It’s a privilege for me to be able to play this role and it’s even more of a privilege to be challenged by my guys, because there’re at least nine of them that I could play. If we didn&#39t have this abundance we wouldn&#39t have won Davis last year. Of course, I have not yet decided who will take the field: in these days of training, I want to gather as much information as possible to evaluate” added the Livorno native.

“The’Netherlands è the most well-known and compact team, they have important rankings. There are new teams like Brazil: if they play; Fonseca we will see one of the next stars of the circuit, very dangerous and with a bright future. They are all teams with great doubles, but the great doubles we also have“ concluded Filippo Volandri about Italy’s opponents in the round.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton

During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.

“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don&#39t think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team&#39s choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.

“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.

“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.

“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

“The origins of Jannik Sinner, who è is from South Tyrol, suggest that he could have become the world number one in skiing. This we can never know, but we certainly know that he è become the number one in tennis” began the CONI president.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
