Jannik Sinner reveals why Davis Cup title defence ‘means so much’

World No.1 Jannik Sinner was delighted after Italy defended their Davis Cup title. The Italians defeated the Netherlands in the finals to clinch the World Cup of Tennis. Sinner defeated Tallon Griekspoor after Matteo Berrettini went past Botic van de Zandschulp at Malaga.

Sinner said winning the Davis Cup means so much to him and the Italian ended his year on a high. Recently, Sinner also won the ATP Finals in Turin in front of his home crowd after earlier winning the Australian Open and the US Open.

“It’s a very important competition for the whole of Italy,” said the World No.1. “You have different pressure and different weight of having Italy on your shoulders. But I think we all handled it really, really well. If it wouldn’t be important, I wouldn’t be here.

“For me, it means so much to me because last year Matteo [Berrettini] was not here as a player but he supported us which gave us a lot of strength and this year [it’s great] sharing this moment especially with this group.”

The two-time Grand Slam champion added, “It has been an amazing year. I’m very proud of the whole team. There is a lot of work behind it and I’m very happy to hold this trophy again. It was a very difficult day today, because anything can happen.”

Italy became the first country to defend its Davis Cup title since Czechia in 2013. Moreover,  Italy is the third Nation to win both the Davis and Fed/BJK Cup the same season in the last 30 years after the Czech Republic (2012) and Russia (2021).
