This tournament will be held May 7th through the 9th, and these two teams have faced off no less than seven times. Italy definitely has the advantage here on this tournament with six of those seven wins and Italy only with one, but all of the tournaments on outdoor courts of clay. This is going to be a little different when they play inside on hard courts. The first time that Netherlands and Italy played was back in 1923 and they haven't faced off in a long time, with the most recent tournament between the two nations in 1972.
Here is how the draw is going to go. Netherlands will face off Simone Bolelli from Italy in the form of Thiemo de Bakker, while Robin Haase takes on Potito Starace. Then Baker will take on Starace and Haase will play Bolelli. In doubles Igor Sijsling and Jesse Huta Galung will face Paolo Lorenzi and Daniele Barcciali.
