"In the Davis Cup we have a very strong team, among the top four in the world. The Azzurri can win the competition, they have a very complicated quarter-final against the United States, but they have all the credentials to beat them."
Adriano Panatta looks with optimism at the path of the Azzurri in the Davis Cup.
The former tennis player, present at the 'Banca Generali - A Champion for a Friend' event in Piazza del Popolo, also spoke of Roger Federer's retirement: "I don't know if there will be another like him, maybe I won't see him. And 'inimitable, expressed beauty, class, elegance in an extraordinary field: a great example for young people ".
Even Rafa Nadal's heartfelt greeting to the Swiss phenomenon did not leave Panatta indifferent: "It was nice to see them hand in hand. It is nice to see two champions who fought against each other for so many years to be truly friends."
