Berrettini leads the way with a resounding triumph
Matteo Berrettini secured the first point with a solid victory over Spaniard Pablo Carreño by 6-3 and 6-4. Berrettini imposed a devastating serve —finished with 13 aces— and showed total dominance from the baseline, supported by a dedicated audience that filled the Bolognese venue. Although Carreño saved several break points, he could not contain the Italian’s power at key moments.
In the second match, Flavio Cobolli sealed the championship with a vibrant comeback against Jaume Munar by 1-6, 7-6(5) and 7-5. Munar started with an extraordinary level, completely dominating the first set and generating hope in Spain of forcing the doubles. However, Cobolli resurfaced driven by the crowd, saved critical situations and managed to break at 5-5 in the third set to close the match and, with it, the title. Despite the notable effort of the Spanish team, Italian superiority prevailed once again. Simone Bolelli, the only player present in the three consecutive coronations, accompanied from the bench the new success of the Azzurra, which reaffirms its hegemony in the Davis Cup. With this victory, Italy continues to write a golden stage in its tennis history, demonstrating that even without its main stars it can fight —and win— at the highest level.
