Jannik Sinner powered Italy into their second consecutive Davis Cup final with an impressive straight-sets victory over Alex de Minaur, continuing his dominance over the Australian with a 6-3, 6-4 win. This triumph comes as part of a stellar 2024 for Sinner, who has claimed two Grand Slam titles and eight ATP tournament victories, leading the tour with over 70 wins.
Sinner’s performance against de Minaur mirrored their previous Davis Cup final encounter, with his consistent baseline play and tactical brilliance earning him the upper hand. Meanwhile, Matteo Berrettini battled through a grueling match to secure Italy’s second point with a 6-7 (6), 6-3, 7-5 win. Italy’s clean sweep over Australia sets up a final showdown against the Netherlands, who are making their debut appearance after defeating Germany.
Reflecting on his remarkable year, Sinner credited his serve as his most improved shot in 2024.
“I have greatly improved my serve this year,” he said.
“It helps me in moments when I may be weaker from the back of the court, and it feels good because I earn easy points.”
Fresh off his ATP Finals triumph, where he made history by winning without dropping a set, Sinner’s form continues to peak at the right moment. As Italy aims for back-to-back Davis Cup titles, Sinner’s growth and resilience have solidified his status as one of the sport’s brightest stars.
