It was the Saturday afternoon match between friends.
A "double" that has long since become a fixed appointment in Cagliari for Enrico Serra, 66 years old, who yesterday afternoon - during exchanges with his playmates on the clay court of the recreational club in via Chiara Lubich, almost on the Molentargius - suddenly collapsed.
The dentist, who had a practice in via Dante, died in a few seconds : a rapid and fatal illness that made even the immediate assistance with the defibrillator brought to the field by the managers of the Genneruxi sports club useless.
A few minutes later the crew of the 118 medical ambulance also arrived and began resuscitation procedures, but soon realized that the dentist was now dead.
A similar tragedy had already happened on 24 February 2017 on the same courts of the tennis club a very short distance from via Galvani. Italo Silvi, a 74-year-old pensioner from Telecom, had suddenly collapsed during a doubles match.
