Matteo Arnaldi edged past Alexei Popyrin 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 to give Italy the first point. Then, less than 24 hours after toppling Novak Djokovic twice in one day, Jannik Sinner closed off the best two weeks of his career by dominating Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-0.

The fact that they did this without Berrettini just shows how strong Italy has become as a tennis nation.

[@litamtondy]

Absolute legendary run. Italy on top of the world.

[@Nordicroo]

That puts Italy with two Davis Cup wins. The first being in 1976, against Chile in the final. Also, one ahead of Serbia, as they have one win from 2010.

Jannik is pivotal in the winning the trophy, credits goes to Berrettini and team. Hope Italy can maintain.

Grazie!!.....but ..ITALY WINS not WIN..😅

[@omicroneridani7456]

It's actually correct, since national teams or club teams of any sport are to be considered collective nouns and thus require a plural. Funziona così... 😀

[@ThirdEye...]

Non è l’Italia vince, ma la vittoria dell’Italia! E’ corretto, non fare il “professore”!

[@federicangelini627]

Non fare il maleducato,invece

[@andreacampanelli651]

South Tyrol is NOT Italy, ask any of their citizens what they think about it...long live Roma and Adriano Panatta!
