At the World Group Qualifier 2019, Kolkata, India

Italian Team: Marco Cecchinato (S #18), Andreas Seppi (S #35, D #224), Matteo Berrettini (S #54, D #131), Thomas Fabbiano (S #102, D #334 , Simone Bolelli (S #134, D #88)

The Italian #1 Fabio Fognini is skipping the Davis cup tie but still a strong Italian team ... I think Andreas Seppi will be a key player for them with his experience in the singles.
