Frana highlighted the competitive nature of the games, noting that both players displayed high levels of skill and intensity throughout the matches.

Frana conveyed that he was pleased with the team's performance on the first day, stating that both Tirante and Trungelliti faced significant challenges, particularly Trungelliti, who struggled against an opponent that countered his play during critical moments. Nevertheless, he emphasized that the debut matches were not detrimental to the players' performance, underscoring their ability to handle the pressure. The captain noted that the day presented a psychological challenge for the team, and he felt proud of how each player managed to rise to the occasion.
