Since Monday, the team has been conducting intensive training sessions to adapt to the tournament conditions. The series, scheduled for September 12th and 13th, will be played on a red clay court.

Very good first practice all together here, we are getting used to the climate, the surface and the time change. We have felt good and we have time to make adjustments. We are positive for the match.
