Thanks to world number one Yannick Sinner, who is in excellent form, Italy defeated Netherlands 2-0 and won the Davis Cup for the second consecutive time. Italy remained away from the Davis Cup title for almost 25 years, but with the arrival of Sinner, it has the distinction of becoming champion for the second consecutive time. Sinner defeated Talon Greekspor in straight sets 7-6(2), 6-2 to make Italy the winner.
Berrettini won the first singles
Earlier, Matteo Berrettini had given Italy a 1-0 lead by defeating Botic Van de Gendschulp 6-4, 6-2, who had defeated Rafael Nadal in their last match. After the victory, Sinner said, there can be no better feeling for us than being the defending champion and becoming champion once again. Italy got tremendous support from the 9,200 spectators sitting in the Palacio de Deportes Jose Maria Martin Carpena. Italy’s supporters left no stone unturned in cheering their team to the beat of mega phones and drums. Italy is the first team to become champion twice after the Czech Republic won the Davis Cup title twice in a row in 2012 and 2013.
The whole team celebrated
Last Wednesday, Italy women’s team won the Billie Jean King Cup title by defeating Slovakia. Italy team captain Filippo Volandri said- The men’s team has made us more proud with the victory. Sinner’s record in Davis Cup here was 4-0. This also included a quarter-final win against Argentina in the doubles with Berrettini. As soon as Sinner won, Berrettini and the entire team came on the court and started celebrating by hugging each other. Volandri picked up Sinner and waved him in the air. Sinner scored 15 aces against Greekspor. Sinner, who won the ATP Finals title a week ago, has not lost in the last 14 matches and 26 sets. This year he has also won the Australian and US Open titles.
