Jannik Sinner led Italy to their second successive Davis Cup title in Malaga after securing a 7-6 (2) 6-2 over the Netherlands' Tallon Griekspoor.
Jannik Sinner capped an outstanding season by guiding Italy to a second successive Davis Cup title as they beat the Netherlands. The world No 1 defeated Tallon Griekspoor 7-6 6-2 in Malaga to secure a 2-0 victory for the defending champions. Matteo Berrettini, who won a thriller against Thanasi Kokkinakis in Italy's semi-final victory over Australia, had earlier played his part with a 6-4 6-2 success over Botic van de Zandschulp.
Although Griekspoor hung on well in the opening set, and saved three match points in the second, there was never any real doubt about the result, and Sinner was embraced by his team-mates after the Dutchman's final return landed wide. Berrettini was in tears as he celebrated one of the best moments of his career. The former Wimbledon finalist has endured numerous injury setbacks in recent years and was sat on the sidelines as a cheerleader 12 months ago.
