Davis Cup Final 8 Teams & Rafa's Official Retirement Party

[jimlosaltos]

Matteo Berrettini wins the first match of the final over Botic with Sinner on court as I type.
Looking like Italy will defend its title.

So, Italian tennis this year has:

Sinner, ATP world number one, 2 'slams, ATP Four final
Olympics: Bronze mens, gold women's doubles
BJK Cup team title
Today> ? Davis Cup repeat ?


Break up Italy !

Italy defends.

Sinner becomes the 2nd man in history to "play an entire season without a straight sets loss. The only other ... you guessed it: Roger Federer".

Per @thetennisletter.bsky.social: "Jannik Sinner has won the last 26 sets he’s played at tour level.


6-4 6-2 6-4 7-6 6-1 6-4 6-4 7-5 7-6 6-3 6-3 6-4 6-4 6-4 6-3 6-4 6-1 6-2 6-4 6-4 6-2 6–1 6-3 6-4 7-6 6-2.

Is it my imagination or has Nadal been retiring for going on two years now. Just like him to suck every last drop of attention out any given situation. More of his OC behaviors. Bouncey...bouncey...bouncey. For ever and ever. It never seems to end.
