Sirola Foot Fault Controversy Clouds Davis Cup Start
In Sydney two days before the Davis Cup challenge, Italy’s Orlando Sirola faces umpire warnings for alleged foot faults on serves. Sirola and captain Vanni Canepele defend the motion as within rules, while Italian captain Nicola Pietrangeli warns of potential crowd volatility as Australian captain Harry Hopman is accused of stirring nerves. Sirola’s quick left-foot step before serving draws scrutiny, though he maintains his delivery mirrors Lew Hoad’s motion and keeps serving from behind the baseline.
