Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli were the undisputed heroes for Italy in Sunday’s final against Spain, both winning their singles matches and securing an insurmountable 2-0 lead.Sinner, world number two and a key player in Italy’s recent successes, chose not to participate this week, preferring to focus on preparation for the upcoming season. Lorenzo Musetti, also absent, was also not part of the team. Italy demonstrated its superiority by winning all its matches this week 2-0 at the SuperTennis Arena in Bologna, eliminating Austria in the quarterfinals and Belgium in the semifinals. Spain, for its part, also felt the absence of its star, Carlos Alcaraz, number one in the world. In Sunday’s final, Berrettini defeated Pablo Carreño Busta with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
