Tomorrow, Friday, the Davis Cup quarter-finals begin at 11.30 a.m. on the clay courts in the “Valletta Cambiaso” stadium in Genoa with the match between the 34-year-old South Tyrolean and France's number 1 Lucas Pouille. Seppi and the current number 11 in the world have never faced each other before. The Kalterer is celebrating his comeback in Liguria after his hip injection. Seppi has played a total of 42 Davis Cup games for Italy in his career. He played 36 times in singles and six times in doubles. His record is positive, with 22:20 wins. After Seppi, Italy's number 1 Fabio Fognini is called upon. The “Azzurro” faces Jeremy Chardy (ATP 80).

Doubles is on the program on Saturday, April 7th at 14 p.m. Here Italy has announced the Bolelli-Lorenzi pairing, but captain Barazzutti will only decide shortly before the match who will play. The last two individual matches are on the program on Sunday. Fognini will face Pouille at 11.30 a.m., while Seppi will complete the quarter-finals against Chardy. Kalterer and Chardy faced each other twice: Seppi won the Australian Open in 2015, two years earlier the Frenchman always had the upper hand in Melbourne.

Both nations played against each other ten times, with Italy winning five times. The French only won once in Italy, in Rome in 1927. In their last meeting 22 years ago, the “Azzurri” narrowly lost 2-3 in Nantes. The Italians' last victory, however, dates back to 1977, when they defeated the French 4-1 in the “Foro Italico” in Rome. In the first direct duel in Paris in 1925, France won 5-0.
