Intense Challenges Await Men and Women of Ct Palermo in Team Tennis in Serie A-1
The Ct Palermo coach smiles, still unbeaten with both the men’s and women’s teams in the top Serie A1 championship. Both teams have four points in the first two rounds, facing a new test on Sunday, in the third and final round of the first half of the season. The match promises to be exciting between the Ct Palermo men and the group leader, Tc Santa Margherita Ligure, who are newly promoted and a formidable opponent. The Sicilian team has had a draw in Forte dei Marmi and a clear 6-0 victory at home against Massa Lombarda in the first two matches.
On Sunday, high-level matches are expected, with former top 100 players Salvatore Caruso and Alessandro Giannessi, as well as young talent Gabriele Piraino on the Ct Palermo side. The Ligurians have already fielded world No. 40 Pedro Martinez, world No. 230 Antoine Escoffier, Andrea Vavassori, who qualified for the Nitto Atp Finals in doubles with Simone Bolelli, and world No. 316 Francesco Maestrelli. The Ct Palermo coach, Davide Cocco, acknowledges that Ct Santa Margherita Ligure is the strongest team in their group, but emphasizes that performance on the court is what matters.
The Ct Palermo women will face Tc Padova on indoor hardcourt. Captains Alessandro Chimirri and Davide Freni will rely on the talent of young players Giorgia Pedone and Anastasia Abbagnato from the youth academy. The Ct Palermo’s top talent, 20-year-old top 200 Wta player Giorgia Pedone, who has won three titles this season, expresses confidence in their chances.
“Last Sunday in Genoa – Pedone emphasizes – despite knowing that I was in great form, I didn’t expect to win against the Latvian Semenistaya who has a high Wta ranking. I haven’t played indoor hardcourt in many months because I focused only on red clay tournaments this season. But I am very confident for the championship, we have what it takes to reach the final again and this time win the title.”
