Italy is on top of the tennis world again. Thanks to Jannik Sinner, they’ve won the Davis Cup for the second year in a row. On Sunday, Italy defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in the final held in Málaga, Spain.
Sinner sealed the win in style. He beat Tallon Griekspoor 7-6(2), 6-2 to clinch the championship. The world No. 1 was flawless in the tournament, winning all four of his matches.
Berrettini Steps Up
Matteo Berrettini played a key role, too. He opened the final with a strong 6-4, 6-2 win over Botic van de Zandschulp. Berrettini, back after injuries, showed his class. “I missed moments like this,” he said after the victory.
The Italians celebrated in style. After Sinner’s win, teammates rushed the court. Captain Filippo Volandri lifted Sinner off the ground in joy. Fans with drums and megaphones cheered loudly.
Italy became the first team to win back-to-back Davis Cups since the Czech Republic in 2012-2013.
Sinner’s Year to Remember
2024 has been a dream year for Sinner. He won 73 matches, claimed eight titles, and secured two Grand Slam trophies. His triumphs at the Australian Open and U.S. Open were career-defining.
Even off-court challenges didn’t stop him. Sinner was cleared in a doping case earlier this year and hasn’t looked back.
A Golden Week for Italy
It’s not just the men celebrating. Italy’s women won the Billie Jean King Cup last week. Two team titles in one week show Italian tennis is thriving.
What’s Next?
Italy is building a dynasty. With Sinner leading the way and Berrettini back in form, the future looks bright. For now, they’ll enjoy the moment—two Davis Cups in two years is worth celebrating.
