Leader of the world rating Yannick Sinner defeated Sebastian Baez in two sets (6:2, 6:1) and tied the total score. Lorenzo Musetti lost to Francisco Cherundolo in the first game.
Thus, the semi-finalist of the team tournament will be determined in a double match. Initially, for the Italian national team in a pair, professional greenhouses, finalists of the Australian Open and Roland Garros this season, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, were announced.
However, a change was made in the Italian national team – Sinner and Matteo Berrettini. Maximo Gonzalez / Andres Molteni will face them.
Bob Bryan, the coach of the US national team, recently made a similar selection for the doubles match. He dropped singles players Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul in place of Austin Krycek and Rajeev Ram against Australia. Australians Matthew Ebden and Jordan Thompson won 6:4, 6:4.
Sinner and Berrettini last played together in 2022. In total, they have 2 matches, both at the ATP Cup in Australia.
Going back to Sinner’s win over Baez, it was Yannick’s 71st win of 2024. He also has only 6 defeats.
