In the absence of world no.2 Jannik Sinner, Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli starred as Italy defeated Spain 2-0 to win their third consecutive Davis Cup title.
Despite the absence of Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, Italy defeated Spain 2-0 to win the Davis Cup 2025, completing a hat-trick of titles. World n. 2 Sinner, who has been in top-notch form in 2025, missed the final to prepare for the next season. However, Italy didn't miss the four-time Grand Slam champion as they cruised to a comfortable victory.
In Sinner and Musetti's absence, Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli starred for Italy in their win over Spain in the final. Both won their respective singles matches in the final to give Italy an unassailable 2-0 lead, sealing the third straight Davis Cup title for their nation. Italy lifted their fourth Davis Cup title overall and became the first team since USA to win three trophies in a row.
Berrettini defeated Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 6-4 in straight sets in his singles match to give Italy a perfect start in the final. In the second match, Cobolli came from a set down to beat Jaume Munar 1-6, 7-6 (7/5), 7-5, helping Italy retain their title. The doubles match wasn't required as Italy extended their domination in the tournament with a third straight title.
"This was my dream, we’re a really united team, and we tried to recreate the spirit of the Italy team that won the (football) World Cup in 2006," said Cobolli after Italy's triumph.
"I’m really proud of everyone and our brilliant fans are also part of this team. I’ve been repeating for three days but it’s the best day of my life," he added.
