Italy were crowned Davis Cup 2024 champions with a 2-0 win over the Netherlands in a final that cemented their dominance in world tennis. Matteo Berrettini opened the series with a solid 6-4, 6-2 win over Botic Van de Zandschulp, excelling with power and precision. Then, world number one Jannik Sinner sealed the title by beating Tallon Griekspoor 7-6(2), 6-2, showing an exceptional level of play.
This result marked the end of the Netherlands’ unexpected but memorable run in the tournament, reaching a Davis Cup final for the first time. However, the experience and talent of the Italian team was decisive in tipping the balance. Italy not only dominated on court, but also made clear their ability to handle the pressure on the biggest stage in team tennis.
A new chapter in the history of Italian tennis
With this triumph, Italy added its third Davis Cup title, after those won in 1976 and 2023, and consolidated its position among the most prominent nations in this historic competition. This achievement places them alongside iconic teams such as Russia, winners in 2002, 2006 and 2021; Germany, who won the title in 1988, 1989 and 1993; and the Czech Republic, winners in 1980, 2012 and 2013.
In the list of winners, Italy is behind such powerhouses as Spain (6 titles), which has established itself as a dominant force in contemporary tennis; Sweden (7 titles), home to legends such as Björn Borg; and the historically dominant Australia (28 titles) and the United States (32 titles), which continue to lead the way.
