A clear, authoritative success, which marks an important stage for Italian tennis. Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori conquer the doubles tournament of the ATP Masters 1000 in Miami, prevailing in the final over the pair of Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten.
On the hard court of the Hard Rock Stadium, the Azzurri prevailed with a score of 6-4, 6-2 at the end of a match controlled from start to finish, which ended in just over an hour of play.
A dominated final
The match immediately went in favor of the Italian couple, capable of breaking their opponents’ serve already in the early stages of the first set and managing the lead up to 6-4.
In the second set, Bolelli and Vavassori raised the level further, finding two decisive breaks that closed the score at 6-2, leaving no room for the Finnish-British duo to comeback.
First Masters 1000 for the Italian couple
This is the first Masters 1000 title in their career for the Italian couple, who thus achieved the most prestigious result of their career, at the end of a tournament played with continuity and solidity.
A significant statement also in light of the unfavorable precedents against Heliovaara and Patten, often winners in recent direct matches, but this time forced to give in when faced with the superiority of the Azzurri.
Another sign of growth also arrives for Italian tennis in doubles, with Bolelli and Vavassori protagonists of a success that projects them among the most competitive pairs on the circuit.
