Things between Italy and Argentina in the quarterfinals of the Copa Davis had to be settled in a thrilling final doubles match. The reigning champion, Italy, took a significant last-minute risk. Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini took to the court to face the Argentines Máximo González and Andrés Molteni. The Italian captain decided to replace the true doubles specialists, Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli, with the two big stars of the team, and Filippo Volandri made the right call. The Italians managed to defeat their opponents in two sets 6-4 7-5 to advance their country into the Davis Cup semifinals once again.

First, Lorenzo Musetti lost to Francisco Cerúndolo in a match where the Argentine played one of his best performances of the year, while Musetti couldn’t keep up. Argentina thus took the lead in the tie, putting the pressure on Jannik Sinner. True to form, the world number 1 delivered a straight-sets victory over Sebastian Báez to push Italy into the all-or-nothing scenario of the doubles. Vavassori and Bolelli? Nowhere to be seen. Sinner had to carry the team on his shoulders and step up his game.

By his side, Berrettini joined the team as a replacement for Flavio Cobolli and ended up playing a crucial role in his country's qualification for the semifinals. His serving combined with Jannik's forehand proved lethal against the Argentine players, who struggled to make an impact on their return games. In a dynamic and intense match, the Italians maintained control from start to finish. Initial nerves were quickly overcome, allowing the Italians to gain the confidence needed to become a perfect duo. The fast conditions played into Matteo and Jannik's favor, making speed their greatest ally.

Semis against Australia

The Italian pair gradually improved throughout the match, showcasing their strong connection in the final stages of the second set when it seemed like the Argentines would not survive. Italy took a 2-1 lead in the tie, securing their return to the semifinals, coming close to defending their title. They will face Australia, who defeated the Americans, unable to capitalize on including their two big stars in the doubles. Italy is hungry, and if they maintain this form, there's no doubt they will contend for a second consecutive title.
