Italy Completes Davis Cup Three-Peat With 2-0 Win Over Spain in Bologna

Italy remains No. 1 in the Davis Cup Nations Ranking following its back-to-back-to-back triumph.

Overview

  • Matteo Berrettini opened the final with a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of Pablo Carreño Busta, firing 13 aces and not facing a break point.
  • Flavio Cobolli clinched the title by rallying past Jaume Munar 1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-5 after trailing by a set and a break.
  • Berrettini and Cobolli went a combined 6-0 in singles across the Final 8, so Italy never required the doubles rubber.
  • Italy secured its fourth Davis Cup crown and became the first nation to win three straight titles in the post‑Challenge era.
  • Both teams were without top players (Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti for Italy; Carlos Alcaraz for Spain) as coverage also noted a reported drop in champions’ prize money to $2 million and renewed scrutiny of the Finals format.
