The first checker went to checkers. Present in the semi-finals of singles and doubles, Italtennis meanwhile reached their first final at Roland Garros thanks to Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori: 7-5 2-6 6-2 over the second seeds, Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden, who had defeated the Azzurri in the last act of the last Australian Open.
Revenge has therefore been served, now the 38-year-old from Bologna from Budrio and the 28-year-old from Turin – who this season boast a victory in Buenos Aires, the aforementioned final in Melbourne and the three semi-finals in Rio de Janeiro, Indian Wells and Rome – are waiting to get to know their rivals for the title: Granollers and Zeballos will challenge the winners of the match between the Tsitsipas brothers and the duo formed by Arevalo and Pavic in the other semi-final.
