Davis Cup 2020, Italy-South Korea 1-0: Fabio Fognini liquidates Duckhee Lee in two sets

Good morning to all OA Sport readers, and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the match between Italy and South Korea, challenge valid for the first round of 2020 Davis Cup qualification. The goal is the Caja Magica of Madrid, ever closer: the blues won both singles yesterday, with Fabio Fognini and Gianluca Mager protagonists.

Italy only needs to win one match today to snatch the pass to Spain, where they will be held Finals from 23 to 29 November next. The double will presumably have protagonists Lorenzo Sonego and Stefano Travaglia, but as often happens with the Davis Cup, the starting lineup should change, with the “usual” holders Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli. The winning duo of the Australian Open 2015 will challenge the Korean duo formed by Ji Sung Nam and Min-Kyu Song, respectively number 103 and 113 of the ATP doubles ranking to extend the series.

Fabio Fognini made his debut between the closed doors of the Cagliari club by winning against Duckhee Lee 6-0 6-3, in a match without history. The Ligurian was the forerunner for the 2-0 blue, interrupted only by the rain: the blue debut of Gianluca Mager it was an ups and downs full of emotions against Ji Sung Nam winning 6-3 7-5. Corrado Barazzutti tests the Azzurri for the future of the Italian flag: close South Korea to plan the Madrid trip.

The challenge between Italy and South Korea will begin no earlier than 11 am Italian time Cagliari Tennis Club in Sardinia. Have fun with LIVE LIVE OA Sport!
