Nothing can stop Jannik Sinner. World number 1 and crowned at the ATP Masters, the title holder of the Australian Open and the US Open intends to fill his trophy cabinet with a second Davis Cup. The 23-year-old made a major contribution to Italy’s semi-final qualification on Thursday after scoring his singles point, before winning the deciding doubles with Matteo Berrettini.
Getting off to a bad start in their Davis Cup quarter-final against Argentina after Lorenzo Musetti’s defeat against Francisco Cerúndolo (6-4, 6-1), the Transalpines were able to count on their strong man to first come back to 1 -1 after Sinner’s easy victory over world number 27 Sebastian Baez (6-2, 6-1).
Italy – Australia and Germany – Netherlands in the semi-finals
Italy, which was to field the pair Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori according to the team compositions published Thursday afternoon by the organizers, finally opted to bring Jannik Sinner back on the court alongside Matteo Berrettini. A choice that paid off since the two players firmly won against the Argentinians Maximo Gonzalez and Andrés Molteni in two sets (6-4, 7-5).
In the semi-final, the defending champions will face Australia, who earlier fell to the United States of Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton, again in the deciding doubles. On the other side of the table, the Netherlands and Germany, deprived of Alexander Zverev, will fight for a place in the final.
