A formidable doubles player, one of the greatest specialists in the history of Italian tennis, Simone Bolelli has claimed 14 ATP titles in men’s doubles, including the 2015 Australian Open alongside Fabio Fognini—the only Italian men’s doubles pair in the Open Era to feature in the Grand Slam roll of honor.

With Andrea Vavassori, he reached the Roland Garros final in 2024 and the Australian Open finals in 2024 and 2025, cementing his status as one of the leading figures on the doubles circuit. A player represented by Back to Next, the Talent Marketing & Management agency founded by Fabio Fognini, Bolelli lifted the last two legendary Davis Cups as a veteran of the Italian national team.

His singles career also stands out, with 11 Grand Slam appearances and five third-round matches played between Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Distinctive traits: doubles leadership and a one-handed backhand.
