Italy just served up a historic victory in the Billie Jean King Cup! Led by tennis sensation Jasmine Paolini, the team defeated Slovakia 2-0 in a thrilling final in Malaga, marking Italy's fifth title and first since 2013.
Paolini, ranked world No. 4, dominated her singles match against Rebecca Šramková with a smooth 6-2, 6-1 win. This followed Lucia Bronzetti's earlier victory over Viktoria Hrunčaková (6-2, 6-4), sealing Italy's unstoppable momentum.
The win caps a year for Paolini, who reached finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. 'It’s a dream,' she said post-match. Slovakia, the underdog squad that toppled the USA and Australia earlier, couldn’t replicate their magic this time. Still, props to their historic run!
For Italy, this triumph erases last year’s heartbreak against Canada. Fans worldwide are celebrating the team’s return to the top—proving that perseverance (and killer backhands) always pay off.
