How Italy bagged its debut Davis Cup against Australia?

After defeating Djokovic in the semi-finals, Italy rose to the finals of the 2023 Davis Cup. It was Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi who helped Jannik Sinner with Italy’s first point at the finals. Despite multiple injuries throughout the season, Arnaldi didn’t hesitate to perform for his country at this year’s Davis Cup tournament.

Matteo’s contribution surely increased Sinner’s confidence at the finals.  Then Jannik Sinner challenged Australia’s Alex de Minaur and snatched a score of 6-3 and 6-0. This is when Italy scored a perfect 2-0 against 28 times Davis Cup winner Australia to march towards its first debut cup.
