Italy captured a remarkable third consecutive Davis Cup title on Sunday, with Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli securing singles victories in a 2-0 triumph over Spain in Bologna.
The win, cheered on by a passionate home crowd, began with Berrettini defeating Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 6-4 in the opening match. Cobolli then overcame Jaume Munar in a dramatic three-set battle, 1-6, 7-6(5), 7-5, to seal Italy’s victory under coach Filippo Volandri.
“It’s impossible to describe this feeling. It’s impossible. I dreamt a lot about this night,” said Flavio Cobolli, speaking after the match.
“I played an amazing match today. You know, we cannot lose for our country. The only thing that I know is that I’m a world champion.”
The triumph over six-time champions Spain marks Italy’s fourth Davis Cup title overall, adding to victories in 1976, 2023, and 2024. Italy also became the first nation to win three consecutive Davis Cups since the Challenge Round was abolished in 1971.
Both teams were missing key stars, with Spain without Carlos Alcaraz and Italy missing Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, making the victories even more impressive.
Italy’s triumph highlights the depth of talent in the country’s tennis program and cements its place in Davis Cup history as a dominant force in the modern era.
