Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini rubbed salt in team USA’s wounds after teaming up in doubles to help Italy advance at the Davis Cup. The Italian team swapped out experienced partners Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori for the singles players and it paid off - they beat Argentina to advance to the semi-finals.

Matteo Berrettini faced Botic van de Zandschulp in the first rubber and scored a 6-4, 6-2 victory in an hour and 16 minutes. Thus, he almost secured the trophy for Italy, with Sinner standing as a massive favorite against Griekspoor. Berrettini blasted 16 aces and lost 13 points in his games.

Spain, who have won the Davis Cup four times with Nadal in the team during his career, are 9/4 shots on tennis betting sites. That puts them just behind 7/4 favourites Italy and ahead of 5/1 hopefuls the USA in the outright market.

Wins for Thanasi Kokkinakis and the doubles duo of Matt Ebden and Jordan Thompson power Australia past USA into the Davis Cup semi-finals, where they will face the defending champions.

Jannik clinched his eighth trophy of the season in Turin, collecting 70 victories and dominating the rest of the field. The Italian was the favorite in front of the home fans. He notched all five triumphs at the premium ATP event, taking home massive prize money and 1500 ATP points.

Defending champions Italy moved into the Davis Cup final after a 2-0 win over Australia on Saturday as Jannik Sinner defeated Alex de Minaur in straight sets to follow up Matteo Berrettini's victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis.
