In addition, the Sky Sports commentator è returned to speak bluntly about the exponential growth by Jannik Sinner.

"Perhaps in 20 years we will be able to better understand what è 2024 was for Italian tennis. We came to the top of the world at both the men’s and women’s levels. We have proven to be the strongest national team and there are all the prerequisites to stay on top for several years" began the former Italian tennis player.

"Italy è the strongest team in the world. When you can count on a player like Sinner, you already have a sure point and a half between singles and doubles. We were overdogs already before the Final Eight started and not only in the finals. I don&#39t like the word predestined, but how could you see him playing already as a boy and not be sure he was going to be strong. Four years ago I would have already put my hand on it. He may have been a little ahead of his time, but mentally è incredible and è grown exponentially physically as well. We must però realize that in sports it canò happen to lose" added the 1976 Davis Cup champion.

"Sinner and Berrettini are like Vialli and Mancini, two champions and friends both on and off the court. Even though our sport becomes team only once a year, Jannik and Matteo showed great chemistry in the doubles match with Argentina"said Paolo Bertolucci.
