Italians Bolelli/Vavassori voted Fans’ Favourite doubles duo in 2024 ATP Awards

Fresh off a season in which they claimed three tour-level crowns, made their maiden team appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals, and helped guide Italy to a successful Davis Cup title defence, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori have been voted as the Fans’ Favourite doubles team in the 2024 ATP Awards.

“Me and Andrea are really happy to win the Fans’ Favourite award for 2024,” said Bolelli, 39. “We’re already back on court and are practising really hard for the new season.”

It didn’t take long for this first-time pairing to gel in 2024. The countrymen played their way into the final of their debut event, the Australian Open, ultimately falling to Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden, 7-6(0), 7-5. A second Grand Slam final followed at Roland Garros, where they avenged their loss to Bopanna/Ebden in the semi-finals, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2, to again reach the title match. 

“With Boli, we shared an amazing year,” said the 29-year-old Vavassori, who reached a career-high No. 6 in the PIF ATP Doubles Rankings in October. "Thank you very much for voting us as ATP [Fans'] Favourite doubles team of the year. It's been a fantastic season and we're already preparing for the next one. See you soon. Ciao!"

Together the popular tandem would claim three titles on the year (Buenos Aires, Halle, Beijing) and qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. Bolelli and Vavassori also accounted for the clincher in a 2-1 edging of Belgium (def. Sander Gille/Joran Vliegen, 7-6(2), 7-5) during Italy’s run to a second straight Davis Cup title.
