The Santa Croce had been a psychological battering for Bassano given the umpteenth comeback loss, and the fourth time on the losing end of a tie-break, but it reacted in style. It defeated its ghost of the past brushing aside Mantova in Straight sets. The least that can be said is that it brought three crucial points just before facing just about all the best teams of this league.

Next is the big derby in Padova.
