Hopman Cup: Italy defeats Australia but misses out on finals

In the first match, Flavia Penetta defeated Samantha Stosur 6:4, 6:4. Pennetta trailed 2-4 in the first set, then won 6-4, while in the second set she took serve from her opponent at 4-4.

Bernard Tomic then equalized. The Australian won the game 4:6, 6:3, 6:2 in three sets against Andreas Seppi, who had to leave the field early in the game against Poland three days ago due to a bout of flu. Tomic doesn't seem to suit the 29-year-old Kalterer at all, as he has already won the two previous duels in 2010 at Queen's in London with 3:6, 7:5, 3:6 and in January 2013 in Sydney with 6:7 (10), lost 4:6. In the subsequent mixed doubles, Flavia Penetta and Andreas Seppi fought back and defeated the hosts 6:3, 6:4.

Despite this success, the Italians, who will face Canadians Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic at the end of the preliminary round on Thursday night, can no longer make it to the final. The "Azzurri" lost the opening match against Poland 0-3 and are also out of the running for a possible 3-0 win against Canada. The final round is scheduled for Saturday, January 4th.
