Italy’s tennis superstar Jannik Sinner has done it again! 🎾 The world No. 1 clinched Italy’s second straight Davis Cup title with a dominant 2-0 win over the Netherlands in Malaga, Spain, capping off a year that’s basically his highlight reel. 💫
Sinner smashed through Dutch rival Tallon Griekspoor (7-6, 6-2) in Sunday’s final, sealing the deal after teammate Matteo Berrettini kicked things off with a smooth 6-4, 6-2 victory over Botic van de Zandschulp. 🚀 This marks Italy’s third Davis Cup crown—adding to their 2023 and 1976 wins—and proves they’re the squad to watch.
Fresh off his ATP Finals triumph last week, Sinner’s golden season also includes two Grand Slam titles. 🌟 Meanwhile, the Netherlands—led by captain Paul Haarhuis—dreamed of ending their 104-year title drought but couldn’t match Italy’s firepower. 🔥
From rallying past Rafael Nadal earlier in the week to facing an unstoppable Berrettini, Van de Zandschulp’s momentum fizzled fast. Sinner, though? Ice in his veins. ❄️ His perfect Davis Cup record stays intact, and honestly, we’re not surprised. 🏆
