MALAGA, Spain (AP) — Italy has won its first Davis Cup title since 1976 with a 2-0 victory over Australia.
Jannik Sinner beat Alex de Miñaur 6-3, 6-0 in the second singles match of Sunday’s final. Matteo Arnaldi had given Italy the first point with a 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 win over Alexei Popyrin.
The Italians had lost the last three finals it played against Australia, which was last year’s runner-up to Canada.
Sinner helped Italy defeat Novak Djokovic’s Serbia in the semifinals on Saturday. Australia eliminated Finland in the last four.
