Italy is on the roof of the world.
For the second year in a row, Flippo Volandri's men won the silver bowl by easily dominating the Netherlands in the final, this Sunday in Malaga.
After Matteo Berrettini's impressive victory against Botic Van De Zandschulp, Jannik Sinner had the opportunity to finish the job against Tallon Griekspoor.
And despite an excellent match from the latter, who even became the first player to win more than four games against the Italian in a set since Novak Djokovic at the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, the world number 1 did not tremble in winning 7–6(2), 6–2, in 1h35 of play.
Italy therefore achieves the double, after 2023, and also after the girls' coronation in the Billie Jean King Cup a few days ago. With three titles (1976, 2023 and 2024), Squadra Azzura joins Russia on the competition list.
