\n\t\t\t\t“I don’t want to be seen as some kind of talisman, because I’m
\nnot one at all, but the value of our tennis players, both women
\nand men, allows us to look forward to the Italian Open with
\nrenewed and consolidated confidence,” Mattarella said.

\n\t\t\t\t“The Davis Cup victory and the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup victory
\nwere an unimaginable achievement,” he added, referring to
