Davis Cup: Berrettini beats Carreno Busta, Italy one point away from final victory
The first match of this Davis Cup final pitted Pablo Carreno Busta against Matteo Berrettini. Still undefeated this week, the Italian was determined to continue this positive streak.
Facing the Spaniard, he was dominant on serve, winning 41 of the 53 points played, without conceding a single break point.
He managed to break Carreno Busta twice, enough to win with a score of 6-3, 6-4. Thanks to this victory, Italy is now just one match away from winning the Davis Cup.
Flavio Cobolli will take to the court next against Jaume Munar to secure that missing point for his country.
