Davis Cup: Barazzutti promotes Mager, never easy beginnings

Two to zero and captain satisfied. But for twice the possible victory point Corrado Barazzutti is not unbalanced: "All five are at stake - he said at the end of the two matches won by Fognini and Mager - I have the Fognini-Bolelli pair who is one of the strongest of the world even if we must consider that Fognini would then play the fourth match. I have to make some evaluations ".
If Italy were to go 3-0 and close the practice, Barazzutti seems willing to let Travaglia play, the other rookie of the challenge together with Mager. "Happy with Fognini's test - said the captain - because he had been standing still for a while and I saw him very well". Also promoted Mager: "Some difficulties, but the beginnings are never easy. He won his first game of Davis and this is the important thing: a satisfactory result, he was very good".
And the 25 year old Ligurian tennis player does not hide the emotion: "I was very tense - admitted Mager - on the other hand everything is happening very quickly: from Rio to Davis until the debut. A not easy match, I didn't play mine best game, but I fought. Because this was my goal: to fight point by point. Fognini with his victory lifted me a bit of tension, but the captain also helped me not to feel too much the weight of the situation ". Some physical problems in the second set: "I don't know what I did yet - concluded Mager - but I think it's nothing serious".
