Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli make history in Melbourne. The couple ended a 56 years drought as you have to go back to 1959 since an Italian couple won a slam in men’s doubles (Pietrangeli/Sirola).
Fabio and Simone dispatched Mahut and Herbert 6-4 6-4 in 82 minutes.
Bolelli: We did something amazing
Simone commented “I think we did something amazing. Maybe we didn’t realize what we made today, but maybe tomorrow we’re going to realize better. For our nation, for our federation, for the people follow us, who support us, all Italian people.”
Great stuff. now it seems that one of the main goal of their season is to qualify for the World Tour Finals. Good Luck!
