Sinner and Berrettini Propel Italy to Davis Cup Victory. Italy celebrated a stellar tennis year, clinching the Davis Cup after Jannik Sinner's 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 victory over Tallon Griekspoor secured a 2-0 win against the Netherlands. Matteo Berrettini earlier gave Italy the lead with a convincing 6-4, 6-2 win over Botic van de Zandschulp in the final held in Malaga. The win capped an exceptional week for Italian tennis, following the women’s Billie Jean King Cup triumph on Wednesday. ”It feels like we are in Italy," said Sinner, praising the team's ability to handle the pressure of representing their country. Sinner’s dominant season included Australian Open and US Open Grand Slam titles, as well as victory at the ATP Finals. Despite an impressive 70-6 win-loss record this year, Sinner's season was overshadowed by a doping controversy. Sinner acknowledged the emotional toll of the case but emphasized his focus on the trust of those who know him personally. Against Griekspoor, Sinner overcame early fatigue and sealed Italy’s third Davis Cup title on his fourth match point. Italy became the sixth team to secure back-to-back Davis Cup titles, following the Czech Republic’s streak in 2013. Matteo Berrettini’s comeback was key, recovering from injury to win three titles and climb back to world No. 35. Berrettini’s singles victory and crucial doubles win with Sinner during the tournament were pivotal to Italy's success. ”I missed these moments," Berrettini shared, expressing gratitude for his return to form and the joy of competing again.
