The Blues of Italy, between blue sky and turquoise sea. The time has not yet come to enter the United Cup, this will not happen until Sunday 29. In the meantime, the national team, led by coach Renzo Furlan (who also coaches Jasmine Paolini), has taken advantage of surf lessons in Australia, where the international mixed tournament is held which also marks the kick-off of the 2025 season. The six Athletes (Flavio Cobolli, Matteo Gigante, Andrea Vavassori, Jasmine Paolini, Sara Errani and Angelica Moratelli) enjoyed an exceptional day in the middle of the Australian waves before focusing on the matches to come.
Tomorrow, Switzerland
—
“Hi friends, today we went surfing. We really had fun, it was a fantastic experience. Now we are ready for tomorrow,” declared Flavio Cobolli and Andrea Vavassori. After a theoretical lesson with the instructor, they tried the practical experience, which gave rise to a few laughs, especially when Matteo Gigante fell into the water. A fun group photo was taken, with Jasmine Paolini in the front row. The adventure on the pitch begins this Sunday against Switzerland, who recently won their opening match against France. The Azzurri’s starters will be Cobolli (against Stricker at 7:30 a.m.) and Paolini (not before 9 a.m. against Bencic). The third match will be the mixed doubles, where we hope to see Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani, eager to strengthen their bond on the court after their victory at the US Open in 2024.
