Italy retains Davis Cup with 2-0 win against Spain
BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) --- Italy remains the king of the Davis Cup -- and didn't
even need Jannik Sinner this time.
Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli both won their singles matches to give the
Italians an unassailable 2-0 lead over Spain in the final on Sunday.
It's a fourth Davis Cup title for Italy, and a third in a row. The last nation
to win three straight titles was the United States, which won five on the
bounce from 1968-72.
The second-ranked Sinner, who led Italy to men's tennis biggest team trophy the
past two years, opted out of playing this week, preferring to prepare for next
season instead.
