Death of Pietrangeli, Panatta: “Never a real argument, it was all just a game”

Milan, December 2 (LaPresse) – “Nicola was my friend, we went through a lot together. We’ve known each other since the 1970s. When I was born, he was 17 and playing tennis, already showing great promise. Then there was a changing of the guard. We were very close. We argued all the time. But we always made up right away.“ Adriano Panatta said this in an interview with Repubblica. Arguments and controversies? ”It was always just a game. They were never real arguments. They always amused me. I would tease him, he would get angry, I would laugh, then we would clear the air and laugh together. But we never argued,“ he replied. Pietrangeli ”was a good man. A very good man. I would never have argued with someone like him. We had fun,” he emphasized.
