Italy Wins Big at Davis Cup 2024
Italy emerged as champions after defeating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final. The Italians were strong favorites, and they lived up to the expectations. By securing this victory, Italy became only the sixth country in Davis Cup history to defend its title.
Italy’s win added them to an elite list of nations that have successfully defended the Davis Cup. The list includes the USA, Sweden, Germany, Spain, and Czechia. Now, Italy joins them, marking their place in tennis history.
For the Netherlands, this final was also a moment of history. It was the first time the Dutch reached the Davis Cup final. They played 185 ties over the years to finally reach this stage. Their best performance before this was in 2001, when they reached the semi-finals. Repeating that success in 2024, the Dutch fell just short of lifting the trophy.
Italy’s Prize Money – $2.67 Million
As champions, Italy earned a whopping $2.67 million. Jannik Sinner led the team throughout the tournament, helping them secure this huge reward. Italy faced tough opponents but managed to secure victories with dominant performances.
In their journey, Italy defeated Argentina, the 2016 champions, and Australia, a 28-time Davis Cup winner. Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner were the stars of the team, ensuring smooth progress to the finals.
In the semi-finals, Berrettini fought hard to win against Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, recovering after losing the first set in a tiebreak. He bounced back to win in three sets. During the final, Berrettini won his match against Botic Van De Zandschulp in just 76 minutes, with a score of 6-4, 6-2.
Sinner, who has been a key player for Italy, continued his dominance. He saved Italy’s chances in the quarter-finals when Lorenzo Musetti lost the first match to Francisco Cerundolo. Sinner stepped up and crushed Sebastian Baez 6-2, 6-1.
In the final, Sinner maintained his strong form. He defeated Tallon Griekspoor 7-6(2), 6-2 to secure Italy’s victory, ensuring their trip to Malaga was worth it. Sinner’s impressive record in the Davis Cup now stands at 12-1.
Netherlands’ Prize Money – $1.6 Million
The Netherlands, even though they didn’t win the trophy, earned $1.6 million as runners-up. This was their first time making it to the Davis Cup final. On their way to the final, the Netherlands defeated some of the biggest names in tennis.
They beat Spain and Germany, both former champions, to make it to the title match. Spain and Germany have a combined total of nine Davis Cup titles, but the Dutch team rose to the challenge.
In the quarter-finals, Botic Van De Zandschulp helped the Netherlands with a big win over Rafael Nadal. He won 6-4, 6-4. Though Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz leveled the score by defeating Tallon Griekspoor, the doubles match turned the tables. Zandschulp and Wesley Koolhof teamed up and secured a win, beating Alcaraz and Marcel Granollers in front of the Spanish crowd.
The Netherlands reached the semi-finals, equaling their previous best result from 2001. Captain Paul Haarhuis, who was a player back then, led the team this time as coach.
In the semi-finals, the Netherlands faced three-time champions Germany. Zandschulp and Griekspoor delivered hard-fought victories to secure their spot in the final.
Zandschulp battled against Daniel Altmaier for almost three hours before winning 6-4, 6-7(14), 6-3. Griekspoor also had a tough fight, coming back from a set down to beat Jan-Lennard Struff 6-7(7), 7-5, 6-4.
