Italy offers itself a third Davis Cup thanks to the last point won by Jannik Sinner

The 73rd victory of the season for Sinner

Without trembling, Sinner erased them, displaying royal serenity despite the excellent level of play of the 40th in the world, whose tennis was technically impeccable but whose mind often played tricks on him. From then on, only a tie-break could decide between these two players, perfectly adjusted to serve (82% of first serves for Sinner, 68% for Griekspoor). Riding a series of 24 sets won since the decisive game he lost in the 2nd round of the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, against Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Sinner capitalized on a backhand mistake from his opponent offering him a mini-break, before break his legs and his morale by producing a marvel of cushioning to lead 6 points to 2. His twelfth ace gave him round no. 25.
