Jannik Sinner sets the seal, Italy is still in the Davis Cup final!

Italy-Australia 2-0, Azzurri in the final with Holland'Netherlands

For the second consecutive year, Italy reaches the Davis Cup final, and will try on Sunday to confirm the title it won in 2023. Sealing the qualification in the semifinal against Australia è Jannik Sinner, who defeated Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4 and gave Italy the victory point, which matched the one won a couple of hours earlier by Matteo Berrettini and also avoided the need to play doubles.

Against an opponent never victorious in direct encounters, but still in the world Top 10, Sinner has to express his best game to get the better of him, and he does so without any particular blunders, except for a game lost on his own serve in the first set at 2-0 (however irrelevant on the final score of the fraction). In the second set è decisive was the ninth game, which Sinner won on the advantages on the Australian's serve going then to close a few minutes later.

Thus, there is no need to play the doubles to decide the winning national team, an important aspect not only because of the unpredictability of the doubles sé but also to have a few more hours of rest ahead of the final, which the Dutch will instead be able to play on the strength of the conclusion of their semifinal on Friday evening.

In addition to Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini, Lorenzo Musetti, Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli are also available in the Italian Davis team captained by Filippo Volandri. On the other hand, the Netherlands, captained by Paul Haarhuis, has Tallon Griekspoor, Botic van de Zandschulp, Jesper de Jong and Wesley Koolhof available.
