Melbourne – The first Italians to reach the Final of a Slam Double since the dawn of the Open era are Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini. Last time was in 1959. In the semifinals, the pair defeated on the Rod Laver Arena Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau in three sets: 6-4, 3-6, 6-3m in 1.58 hour of play. Saturday, they will complete their adventure against the French Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut. (9Colonne)
