Sinner Leads Italy to Davis Cup Glory with Victory Over Netherlands

Posted : 25 November 2024

Jannik Sinner capped off his remarkable year by leading Italy to a successful defence of the Davis Cup, securing the winning point in the final against the Netherlands on Sunday. The world number one displayed his dominance with a 7-6 (7/2), 6-2 victory over Tallon Griekspoor, clinching Italy's third Davis Cup title. This followed Matteo Berrettini's earlier win, a convincing 6-4, 6-2 triumph against Botic van de Zandschulp, which had put Italy ahead in the tie.

 

Sinner's win was part of a historic season, with the 2024 campaign seeing him claim titles at the Australian Open, US Open, and the ATP Finals. Reflecting on the team's achievement, Sinner expressed his pride, acknowledging the hard work behind their successful defence of the title. Italy’s victory marked the first time since 2013 that a nation had managed to defend the Davis Cup, and they joined an exclusive group of teams that won both the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup in the same season.

 

The atmosphere at the Martin Carpena arena was electric, with Italian and Dutch fans creating a vibrant backdrop to the match. For the Netherlands, this marked their first appearance in a Davis Cup final after 104 years of attempts. Despite the pressure of representing his country, Sinner's performance remained formidable, continuing his dominance over Griekspoor, whom he has now defeated in all six of their encounters.

 

The match itself saw Sinner initially test Griekspoor with a series of aces, setting the tone early. Although Griekspoor managed to challenge Sinner with some strong serving, including forcing a tiebreak in the first set, the Italian stayed composed. After securing the first set, Sinner took control in the second, breaking Griekspoor’s serve twice, including a decisive break that put the match out of reach. With a final powerful serve, Sinner sealed the victory, delivering Italy's third Davis Cup title.
