After the thrilling elimination match between Belgium and Italy in the 2025 Davis Cup, Zizou Bergs's father wanted to leave a heartfelt message for his son on social media: "Seeing you step onto the court during the Davis Cup filled me with indescribable pride. You carried not only your racket, but the weight of a nation's hopes, and you gave everything for Belgium. Every serve, every sprint, every drop of sweat was a testament to your courage and your heart. We lost the tie, but you earned the respect of the tennis world. I am glad to have shared this beautiful moment with my entire family by my side. These are the moments we live for."

Steve Darcis, captain of the Belgian Davis Cup team, reflected on the team's performance and how they came close to taking a third point against mighty Italy.
Belgium was eliminated in the semifinals of the Davis Cup after losing 2-0 to Italy, although a miracle prevented this series from going to a third match. It was in the hands of Zizou Bergs, who had seven match points to overcome Flavio Cobolli, but destiny did not grant him what he was fighting so hard for. Once he reached the bench, the Belgian tennis player collapsed facing an opportunity of such caliber, but surely in the coming days, he will be proud of the spectacle offered. In any case, honors to a Belgium that always puts up a fight in this competition.

There was no surprise, but a lot of emotion. After Matteo Berrettini's victory to start off the tie between Italy and Belgium, Flavio Cobolli sealed the deal with an epic win of over three hours against Zizou Bergs (6-3, 6-7, 7-6), leading Italy into their third consecutive Davis Cup final. Both had match points in the third set tiebreak, but Flavio eventually closed it out with a score of 16-14. A remarkable feat by Filippo Volandri's team, who will rest tomorrow to fight for a new title on Sunday. Will Spain or Germany secure the ticket to challenge the reigning champion?
