I can’t say there are a lot of surprises… You mean surprise that we beat Brazil? It was a competition, and we knew that we had chances, good chances. In Cervia there are a lot of strong Italian players, and the tournament in Torre del Lago confirmed it: in 8 strongest doubles we had only 1 or 2 non-Italians. I’m not sure that Championship in Cervia would be different, but we have chances. What do I expect – to show my best and fight for every point. We’ll see.

I have played 4 finals in a row, so final is my goal! And once we'll be playing on Sunday everything could happen. But as we saw in Moscow and Torre del Lago, the level has grown a lot. So all the matches are difficult. In Moscow I wasn't at top form, now I'm much better so I'm optimistic and I'm looking forward to play this event. I hope we can repeat the same performances of last two years.

I honestly don't know what to expect from the Championship. It will certainly be a tournament full of emotions and with a lot of very beautiful matches. For us the pressure for this tournament is so big as well as the desire to reconfirm. So I hope it goes well!

I think that during the world championships we won't see a lot of surprises. Normally we don't have surprises during this tournament because the best teams arrive at the tournament very focus and ready for the competition. But never say never, we will see what will happen!

This s year in Moscow was really hard and until the end we didn’t know how could win!! But finally maybe for a big experience from many tournaments played we won. It was as hard as satisfaction!!! About the tournament in Torre del Lago was hard as well because there was like a world Championship because it was the week before that event and all players came for playing!! It was amazing to win, because it was a memorial to my friend and for Sofia and me was really important to win. Finally we are waiting for the World Championship. It could be strong but we try to do the Best and try to re confirm the result of last year!

For me Сervia could be like a box of surprises... Now there are not only italians playing well... If you come to a different places even without beach you could find strong opponents, now everybody know how to play this game. The new players like Beccaccioli, Pazzaglia and Carneiro could beat the strongest players even being out of the top 10.
