We now know who will be the opponent of the Netherlands in the grand final of the Davis Cup 2024 to be held next Sunday, November 24. It had to be none other than a whole Italy led by Jannik Sinner, who served as the number 1 to push the Italian team into the grand final for the second consecutive year. Sinner defeated Alex de Miñaur in straight sets (6-4 6-4) to give his country the decisive second point in the semifinals against Australia.

Initially, it was Matteo Berrettini instead of Lorenzo Musetti who took to the court and managed to put his country ahead in the tie after a tough match against Thanasi Kokkinakis. Berrettini had to fight until the end to stage a comeback and leave everything in the hands of Jannik. That first step was the most crucial, as the victory of the world number 1 was almost taken for granted. With Italy leading 1-0, the responsibility fell entirely on San Candido's player.

Sinner, accustomed to triumph

He entered the court with his characteristic energy and intensity, forcing the Australian to defend fiercely against the attacks of a rival who was determined not to take the tie to the doubles match. An intense battle unfolded from the baseline, but it was Sinner who managed to find more openings than his opponent. It cannot be said that De Miñaur did not fight with all his might, quite the contrary; he gave his all to try to bring his country back to level terms. However, at this moment, Jannik knows no other outcome but winning.

Thus, the Italians will once again step into the grand final of the most significant men's team tournament for the second year in a row. There, they will face the Netherlands, who defeated Spain and Germany with only four players, one less than the rest of the teams. Will the Davis Cup once again end up in the hands of Italy?
