Davis Cup, foreign press praises Italy’s triumph: ‘Inspired by brotherhood’

Rome, 24 Nov. (LaPresse) – Italy ‘inspired by brotherhood’ capable of assuming the ‘role of dominator’. The foreign press celebrates Italy’s tennis success, winner of the Davis Cup for the third consecutive time, emphasising its strength even without Jannik Sinner. ‘Italy, world capital of tennis,’ writes Marca, ‘To win, you have to want it, and that’s exactly what the Italian teams did, never tiring of lifting trophies,’ while As describes the Iberians’ defeat as ‘more than honourable’. The BBC published an interesting in-depth article on the bond that united the Azzurri, “Brotherhood inspires Italy to third Davis Cup title”, while L’Equipe refers to the story of Flavio Cobolli (described as a “lone wolf” by the French newspaper), who played football for Roma’s youth team as a boy: ‘ Considered vulnerable due to the absences of Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, Italy won its third consecutive Davis Cup victory against Spain on Sunday. Already heroic against Belgium in the semi-finals, 23-year-old Flavio Cobolli clinched the decisive point in an exciting match. The former Roma youth team right-back, who chose tennis over football, is an unconventional leader” .
