The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella will also be there tomorrow, in the stands of the central court of the Foro Italico, to cheer on Jasmine Paolini, the Italian tennis player who will take to the court for the final of the Italian Internationals against the American Coco Gauff.
The announcement comes from the president of the Fitp, Angelo Binaghi from Cagliari, who does not exclude the presence of Mattarella also on Sunday, if an Italian between Sinner and Musetti were to manage to get past the semifinals scheduled for today.
The last Italian to aspire to the title was Sara Errani in 2014, a friend of Paolini and doubles partner with whom he won the Olympic gold in Paris. Over a decade later, Paolini will try to win a title that has only been won by an Italian three times because Errani then lost to Serena Williams and no other Italian tennis player has managed to even come close to a similar milestone.
