Jannik Sinner ITA, 2001.08.16
Lorenzo Musetti 
: “We have great ambitions. We want to go through the group first, to qualify for the group stage in Spain. We must not underestimate anyone, but we are ready. Last year they missed Coric but Gojo had one of his best matches against Lorenzo Sonego. Then in the group there is Argentina which has highly experienced and young players who have done very well.
I am happy here, the conditions are quite slow and the balls tend to swell a lot. It will be necessary to always push, to bring out all the energy both individually and as a team ”.
“In Bratislava I experienced a debut with a bang. We won a very tight match with a hostile and very warm audience. Feeling the support of the team, and then getting the victory, gave me a positive energy, a good boost for Hamburg.
“That success in Bratislava helped me a lot. Of course, that was a team victory while in Hamburg it was an individual success but basically tennis is becoming a team sport because each player has his own team of people around him ”.
Meanwhile Jannik Sinner arrived today and trained regularly.
The blue also had a training session with Francesco Maestrelli.
WEDNESDAY 14 SEPTEMBER
Group A (Bologna), 15.00: Croatia-Italy
Group B (Valencia), 16.00: Spain v Serbia
Group C (Hamburg), 2 pm: France-Germany
Group D (Glasgow), 5pm: USA-Great Britain
Captain Filippo Volandri will field Jannik Sinner, Matteo Berrettini, Lorenzo Musetti, Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli, to win one of the two passes for the final phase scheduled for November. The group that also includes Argentina and Sweden opens on Wednesday against Croatia (orphan of Cilic), who defeated Italy in the quarter-finals last year: the odds for the head-to-head see the Azzurri widely favorites (played on the length). of the three matches, two singles and a double) at 1.25, with the Croatian success at 3.50.
Italy is the big favorite for the first place in the group: the Azzurri, after having faced Croatia on Wednesday, will play against Argentina on Friday and against Sweden on Sunday and start at an odd of 1.20. But the bookmakers give great credit to Italian tennis, so much so as to place the final success at 3.50, an odd identical to that of Spain – engaged in its group in Valencia against Canada, Serbia and South Korea – which at least initially will not field the new one. world number 1 Carlos Alcaraz, fresh from his triumph at the US Open. Further back, however, the United States at 6.50 while a triumph of one between Australia, Canada or Serbia is worth 10 times the stake.
