It is clear that Italy is one of the leading countries in the world of tennis, both on the men's and women's side. A clear proof of this is the recent major triumph of the Italian team in the Billie Jean King Cup 2025, but also the great successes on the side of Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Musetti, and Flavio Cobolli.
On this occasion, it was Jasmine Paolini, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, Sara Errani, Tyra Caterina Grant, and Lucia Bronzetti who, under the command of Tathiana Garbin, the team captain, once again led the Italian team to raise a new trophy. About this result and many other aspects, Flavia Pennetta talked, analyzing the nation's great success.
"They were all wonderful victories. Of course, the first one is unforgettable; Italy had never achieved it before. We knew we had made history in our sport. The 2009 victory crowned a fantastic year, where I finished in the top ten. We were a team where everyone could take turns, with a different player scoring a point each time," Flavia recalled about her time on the courts, as she narrated in an interview with Ubitennis.
A union that goes beyond the courts
"You could contribute even without playing. A bit similar to what Sara Errani has been doing lately, with her team spirit, helping her teammates on the court and even off it. That's the best," said the former Italian tennis player about the recent mixed doubles champion at the US Open.
Analysis of Jasmine Paolini's season
"Completely normal. It's very difficult to maintain a wonderful year like 2024. The pressure changes, opponents get to know you. In my opinion, she can be satisfied even if she finishes the season in 15th place in the WTA Ranking. In short, there's no reason to worry about a few poor results. I'm convinced that in 2026 the situation will stabilize, and Jasmine will be more consistent. Not forgetting that she can qualify for the WTA Finals; there are still many points up for grabs."
About the Italian men's team and the Davis Cup
"It would be wonderful for our movement to repeat the victory in the Davis Cup. Italy currently has an exceptional number of players, both male and female. It could form not one, but three teams, and all three would be super competitive."
