The victory in Chile in 1976, the defeat against Zimbabwe are the two extremes of an event with undisputed charm, even now that it has a different formula
Brothers of Italy, the racket has awakened. In the most individualistic of sports – tennis – the Davis Cup is a paradoxical tournament: all united, until triumph unites you and / or defeat does not divide you. The Azzurri story in this tournament is as compelling as a TV series, but it always dances between glory and abyss, refrain wasters, boredom is not expected. This time we get light-hearted (or nearly so) and ambitious as no one, but for a long time – even when we won the only time in Chile in 1976 – Davis was a salad bowl of poisons, showdowns, scattered poisons, grim looks among teammates, quarrels and ferocious attacks against the Federation.
