Italy wins historic third consecutive Davis Cup title

Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli guided Italy to a historic third consecutive Davis Cup title on Sunday when they earned victories in front of a raucous crowd in Bologna against Spain.

In the opening match of the tie, Berrettini produced a flawless display to down Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 6-4 and give his country the perfect start. Cobolli then recovered from dropping seven of the first eight games in his match against Jaume Munar to earn a 1-6, 7-6(5), 7-5 win and send the Italian bench and the packed crowd into wild celebration.

Italy also triumphed at the Davis Cup Finals in 2023 and 2024 in Malaga and is now the first country since the United States (1968-1972) to win three consecutive titles.

Berrettini ensured Italy made the perfect start in Sunday’s final by delivering an impressive performance on serve. The 29-year-old fired 13 aces and did not face a break point en route to his 79-minute win. The No. 56 player in the PIF ATP Rankings has won his past 11 Davis Cup matches, dating back to 2022.

With the hopes of Italy then on Cobolli, the 23-year-old demonstrated an abundance of grit to rally after a slow start against Munar. After losing the first set and dropping his serve immediately at the start of the second, Cobolli crucially broke back to level at 1-1. He then converted on his seventh set point of the second set to force a decider and found the key breakthrough in the 11th game of the third set. Cobolli enjoyed a memorable week on home soil, having saved seven match points in his win against Belgium's Zizou Bergs in the semi-finals.

Spain was competing in the Davis Cup Finals title match for the first time since triumphing in 2019. The former champion defeated Czechia and Germany en route to the final.
