Italy secured its third consecutive Davis Cup final appearance by defeating Belgium 2-0 in Bologna, with victories from Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli. The Italian team avoided the doubles match and confirmed their dominant form under captain Filippo Volandri, who had to compete without Jannik Sinner but was backed by a deep roster of players capable of sustaining the current champion's structure. The advance was first built on Berrettini's solidity, who asserted authority against Raphael Collignon with a 6-3, 6-4 victory, giving Italy a comfortable start. In the decisive match, Cobolli defeated Zizou Bergs 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 in a match that lasted over three hours and concluded in a 32-point tiebreak, which he won 17-15. The world number 22 saved seven match points and withstood extreme pressure against an opponent who did not yield ground. The reigning champion will seek its fourth trophy this Sunday at 15:00.
