Bolelli/Vavassori raise the roof with opening win in Turin!

  • Posted: Nov 09, 2025

Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori channelled home support to spectacular effect on Sunday evening at the Nitto ATP Finals.

Seeking a fast start on its second consecutive appearance at the prestigious season finale in Turin, the Italian duo upset top seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool 7-5, 6-3 in a raucous atmosphere inside Inalpi Arena. Bolelli and Vavassori were clincal with their chances in the 82-minute encounter, during which they converted two of three break points they earned according to Infosys ATP Stats.

Now 1-0 in Peter Fleming Group, Bolelli and Vavassori have made the perfect start in their bid to reach the semi-finals at the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time. The pair has also increased its Lexus ATP Head2Head lead over Cash and Glasspool to 3-1.

Despite missing out on a win on their Nitto ATP Finals debut that would have simultaneously sealed Year-End ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by PIF honours, Cash and Glasspool remain in a good position to end the year as the world’s top team. The Britons lead second-placed Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten by 1305 points in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings. Heliovaara and Patten play their Turin opener on Monday.
