It is a shame about the Italian team though, especially with the year they’ve (esp Vavassori) have had

Sometimes there’s no doubles the whole week though, so at least we got something

I actually wonder if he were to win AO if he’d prioritize Davis Cup next year. One of the few titles he doesn’t have

Yes, thought this would be much closer

Yep. He was pretty explicit about it in press after USO
