Italy Wins Second Consecutive Davis Cup Title

Jannik Sinner capped off an extraordinary season by leading Italy to their second consecutive Davis Cup title, defeating Tallon Griekspoor 7-6 (2), 6-2 in the final against the Netherlands in Malaga. This victory adds to Sinner's impressive 2024 achievements, which include winning the Australian Open, US Open, ATP Finals, and multiple Masters 1000 titles, culminating in a remarkable 73-6 win-loss record. Sinner's performance in the final was characterized by resilience, saving all break points in the first set and ultimately securing victory on his fourth match point. Matteo Berrettini also played a crucial role, winning his singles match against Botic van de Zandschulp to set up Italy's triumph. With this win, Italy became the first team to retain the Davis Cup since the Czech Republic in 2013 and the first to win both the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup in the same season since 2021. Sinner's historic season aligns him with Roger Federer as one of only two players in the Open Era to win at least one set in every match throughout the year.
