Italy’s Simone Bolelli & Fabio Fognini play South Korea’s Nam Ji-sung & Song Min-kyu behind closed doors.
The win echoed his come-from-behind three-set victory on Friday over Thiago Seyboth Wild in the opening singles. The hosts were without their two star players – injury-hit Kei Nishikori and world No 48 Yoshihito Nishioka, who decided not to join his team to avoid a possible virus quarantine on his return to the United States.
Uchiyama said it was hard to concentrate while playing in a nearly empty arena, “but I don’t want to use it as an excuse”. Italy shrugged off the absence of fans in Cagliari to defeat South Korea with Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli easily beating Nam Ji-sung and Song Min-kyu 6-3, 6-1 in just over an hour.Italian tennis federation match director Sergio Palmeri suggested that the occasionally combustible Fognini was better suited to playing in an empty stadium.
In Graz, Austria, playing without world No 3 Dominic Thiem, defeated Uruguay when Dennis Novak maintained his 100% record with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over veteran Pablo Cuevas.
