– Good feelings. The whole team has enjoyed and worked out well throughout the week. It’s also cool to play the away match. It’s been a while since we’ve last played the Davis Cup in the guests, and now it seems to be in order and definitely a good match coming.
Virtanen sees the team spirit as the strength of Finland. It matters in the Davis Cup when the whole team is close to the player on the field.
– The one who is on the field trusts the whole team that is in the background, and at the same time they can support the player. The field is not as lonely as normal.
Oskari Paldanius, who made his debut on the adult national team, could not wait for his name in the lineup, but is excited about the future.
– Pretty cool moods. I didn’t expect to come to the field at all, but now that it came, there are really great feelings. The juniors have not played against such tough players.
