Overview
- Italy beat Belgium 2–0 in Bologna to advance without needing the doubles.
- Flavio Cobolli clinched the tie over Zizou Bergs 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, winning a 17–15 final tiebreak after saving seven match points in a contest lasting more than three hours.
- Matteo Berrettini put Italy ahead by winning the opening singles against Raphael Collignon in straight sets.
- The victory sends Italy to a third consecutive Davis Cup final despite the absences of Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, with a near sellout crowd of about 10,000 on hand.
- Cobolli consoled an emotional Bergs and dedicated the win to his family and friend Edoardo Bove, as Italy’s squad— including the unused doubles pair Bolelli and Vavassori—prepared for the final.
