In this defective season the Argentine was remembered for his performance at the Kitzb?hel tournament, where he reached the quarterfinals. Unfortunately, the 30-year-old tennis player could not cope with Miomir Kechmanovic (4-6, 7-6, 5-7), although he left a good impression of himself. There was also a performance at the French Open, but it didn’t work out well, so Delbonis came to Parma on his favorite surface. The representative of Argentina has already managed to show his strengths, because the 81st racket of the world beat Andreas Seppi (6-1, 7-6). In the next fight, Federico is again waiting for a match against an experienced Italian, so you definitely shouldn’t relax.
The Spanish national team players won their qualifying group G much more confidently, ahead of the Italian team by five points. Fury Roja scored 28 points out of 30 possible, becoming one of the best teams in the qualification. The Spanish national team has not lost in the last test games, although some results still caused alarm, for example, a draw with Russia (3:3) and Switzerland (1:1), as well as an unconvincing victory over Tunisia (1:0) in Krasnodar. From the positive, we immediately recall the meeting with Argentina (6:1), which the Spaniards did not leave a single chance. You can also add an away game against Germany (1:1). Spain has no particular staffing problems. Questions remain only in the line of attack, which can be formed by Rodrigo, Iago Aspas and Diego Costa. And let’s assume for now that the sensational change of the head coach will not seriously affect the team.
