ROMA. “I immediately looked at my teammates, because that victory was only the very last step in a long journey made together, with ups and downs. I was very happy to hug all the boys and the staff. Winning the Davis Cup and bringing the trophy to Italy afterwards many years it was a very strong emotion. I remember that Italian music started playing on the pitch and I started jumping for joy. A special moment that I will never forget.”
Jannik Sinner thus remembers the triumph on the pages of “Azzurro Davis – Sinner, Panatta, Pietrangeli and the others: the Italian tennis finals“, published by Rai Libri.
“It’s a particular emotion to hear the anthem before the matches – says the South Tyrolean again in the chapter on 2023 -. In tournaments you don’t hear much, when you listen to it inside a stadium it’s a special moment. As a child I saw many Seppi matches , Fognini and many other Azzurri and I have always dreamed of being able to play for our nation one day.” Written by the Banfield Collective – a variable literary formation composed for the occasion by Andrea Pelliccia, Carlo Rinaldi, Lucio Biancatelli, Germana Brizzolari, Diego Mariottini, Lorenzo Fabiano, Alessandro Nizegorodcew and Matteo Mosciatti – the book is a sporting, historical and social story of the Italy in the eight years in which the national team reached the Davis Cup final”.
