DI PINTO: “ A GREAT MATCH BUT WE HAVE STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO”
– “We played a very good match and confirmed the good things seen at the Lamezia Terme tournament. Godd defense and serving helped us to reach the victory. We could have won in 4 set but it is always a victory. We will have to fight in every single game this year. All the matces will be hard. We have sill a lot of work to do.”
