Sinner Leads Italy to Davis Cup Final with Win Over De Minaur

Posted : 24 November 2024

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner played a crucial role in securing Italy's spot in the Davis Cup final, defeating Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4 to give the Italians a 2-0 victory over Australia on Saturday. This win came after a tough battle with de Minaur, who has yet to beat Sinner in nine encounters, including last year's Davis Cup final. Italy will now face the Netherlands in Sunday's final after the Dutch team defeated Germany 2-0, reaching their first final in 104 years.

 

Earlier, Matteo Berrettini contributed to Italy's success with a hard-fought 6-7 (6/8), 6-3, 7-5 win over Thanasi Kokkinakis in a nearly three-hour match. Reflecting on his team's progress, Sinner expressed his excitement about reaching another final, emphasizing the importance of defending the title they won the previous year. He acknowledged that whether they win or not, the team's consistent performance proves they are a formidable force in the competition.

 

Sinner, who has enjoyed an impressive year, including victories at the Australian Open, US Open, and ATP Finals, is also awaiting the outcome of an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency after initially being cleared of testing positive for the steroid clostebol. Despite the controversy, Sinner has remained focused, producing another solid performance against de Minaur, who fought hard but couldn't match the Italian's consistency and pace.

 

De Minaur admitted that playing against Sinner felt like trying to solve a puzzle, acknowledging the Italian's relentless focus and impressive ball speed. While de Minaur battled through the match, he couldn't find a way to break Sinner's momentum, especially after Sinner broke for a 4-2 lead in the second set with a clever drop shot, and later served out the match to claim the victory.
