World
number six Matteo Berrettini has been left out of Italy’s Davis Cup
team for next month’s qualifying tie against Slovakia.
The decision was announced by the Team Captain Filippo Volandri who said that it was a 'shared decision'. The announcement came in the form of a statement by the Italian Tennis Federation and it seems to indicate that Berrettini asked to be left out.
The
Italian team will be made up of Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Sonego, Fabio
Fognini, Lorenzo Musetti and Simone Bolelli for the indoor event at
Bratislava’s NTC Arena on March 4 and 5.
Volandri said:
“It
is a decision that I shared with the players. Once again we are showing
a very strong team spirit, which I believe can make the difference.
Matteo will definitely be available for the next tie if we win. "
Berrettini said:
“Obviously
I will support them from afar. We need to win to earn ourselves a place
in the finals again, when I hope to return to be alongside my
teammates."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
