Just one year after losing the final against Canada in Seville, the Italian team closes their great story by conquering the trophy of the Billie Jean King Cup 2024, winning convincingly against Slovakia. Sara Errani, Jasmine Paolini, and Tathiana Garbin, the latter being the captain, attend a press conference to discuss, among other things, what this triumph means and why this title is so special to them.

SARA ERRANI

"I'm just one more on the team; I'm super happy to be back. We've known each other very well for a long time. We've had a great week, had a lot of fun, and played good tennis. I'm very proud to be part of the team."

JASMINE PAOLINI

"It feels incredible. It's a great tournament; you play for your country, for your team, for the players, but also for the whole team that is not visible on screen. For Tathiana, who had a tough time last year. We are all happy to be here today with this trophy. The most important thing is that she is healthy," said Italy's number one racket about their captain.

"It's a great way to end the year. You get more energy from your teammates and the team. I really enjoy being here as part of the team. We have a lot of fun, laugh a lot. This year has been crazy, a complete dream. I hadn't imagined it at the beginning of the week; it's always challenging to play in these tournaments. You never know who will play or how you'll feel on the court."

TATHIANA GARBIN

"Being here this year is a gift for me. Last year, I went through very tough times. I have the whole team with me, and that's why I'm on the bench trying to give them strength and encouragement, because that's what they did for me in tough moments. I'm very proud of the girls not only because they are champions but also as people. They are a great team. Whenever we are together, we find a way to be happy. Every captain's goal is to have a team like this."
