Davis Cup: Jannik Sinner, the Swiss army knife who can offer a second consecutive coronation to Italy this weekend

Kristof Vliegen, before the final phase of the 2024 Davis Cup which begins this Tuesday in Malaga: “With a Sinner at the top, Italy is the clear favorite”

Jannik Sinner who plays doubles matches, we can't really talk about a secret weapon. Volandri had already successfully tested this method twice during last year's final phase. In crucial moments, at the quarter and semi-final stage.

Our former player Kristof Vliegen mentioned it with us during the presentation of the Final 8 in Malaga: “If Jannik Sinner is in good shape, Italy will be the clear favorite. Let's not forget that, last season, he was fielded in singles, but also in doubles. He was unplayable there, he returns everything.”

Unplayable, no matter who is next to him or who his opponents are. Last season, it was Lorenzo Sonego (ATP 53), absent from this gathering, who took on the role of teammate.

So, who can stop Sinner and his gang on their way to a second Silver Bowl? A first response is expected this Saturday from 1 p.m., during the semi-final against a solid Australia led by Alex de Minaur (ATP 9).

Zizou Bergs more ambitious than ever: “The top 20 in 2025 and the Davis Cup with Belgium in the future”
