The Italian duo, the third seeds, are into the Australian Open final for the second consecutive year.
“We will take part in this second consecutive final more mentally prepared,” said Bolelli.
“Last year, it was a totally unexpected.
“We were 50th in the world and we were almost knocked out of the tournament straight away.
“It was very emotional, and we didn’t know how to best manage the difficulties we had in store.
“This time, we will certainly be more ready.”
It will be Vavassori’s fourth Grand Slam final as he also reached the final of the French Open with Bolelli last year and won the mixed doubles at the 2024 US Open with Sara Errani.
“The experience gained in this type of match will certainly help me, especially in terms of mental management,” Vavassori said.
The Italian pairing won four ATP titles last year and said they are aiming to emulate Jannik Sinner and get to the top of the world rankings.
