Berrettini gets Italy off to a perfect start in the Davis Cup final

Italy already has one hand on the cup. The overwhelming favourites for the Davis Cup final, the Transalps got things off to a perfect start by taking the lead thanks to Matteo Berrettini's authoritative victory over Botic Van de Zandschulp (6-4, 6-2).

The Italian colossus played a full match and didn't disappoint. Impressive on serve (14 aces, 0 break points conceded) and overpowering in the exchange, Berrettini totally smothered his opponent, who exploded at the end of the match.

The Netherlands now have their backs against the wall more than ever, as they will have to rely on a crazy feat if they are to claim the world title: a Tallon Griekspoor victory over Jannik Sinner.

The only hope for the Dutch: the pressure of a historic double for Italy.

Will the world's No. 1 shiver? Will the Italians confirm their current domination of the tennis world?

The answer is imminent!
