Previously, we discussed how Italy could become the third country of the 21st century that could be done with the double of selections winning the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cupsomething that has effectively ended up happening with two key players like Jasmine Paolini and Jannik Sinner who have their country’s tennis in a golden moment.
After achieving this milestone, with the Italian Davis Cup title, it is not the only one they have achieved, as they are also the third country to win the men’s team tournament consecutively in this century, something that they had only achieved until now Spain y Czech Republic.
The first to achieve this was Spain from Nadal in 2008 beating 3-1 Argentina and a year later they would once again win the ‘silver salad bowl’ after leaving Czech Republic 5-0, with two victories for Rafael Nadal and two for David Ferrer.
Just three years later in 2011, the 2009 finalist would be the protagonist, with Czech Republic winning 3-2 Spaintaking revenge for the definition of the aforementioned 2009, while the following year in 2013 they would leave the team with honey on their lips. Serbia of Djokovic winning 3-2 despite the fact that the current Olympic champion added two wins.
Now history repeats itself with Italiawho already won Australia in 2023, and now it does the same with Netherlands this year having Sinner as a great card, contributing two victories in said conquests.
