Italy retains its title in the Billie Jean King Cup by defeating the United States in the final

The task did not seem easy for Italy in the Billie Jean King Cup final against the Americans led by Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro, among others.

However, it was Elisabetta Cocciaretto who brought the first point to her country by defeating Navarro with a score of 6-4, 6-4.

Jasmine Paolini had the opportunity to seal the fate of the meeting against Pegula. Struggling in the first set with 4 break points saved, she ultimately claimed this first set with a score of 6-4 by converting her only break point.

Despite conceding a break at the beginning of the second set, the Italian quickly regrouped and won 5 consecutive games.

When it came time to close out the match, Paolini was surprised by Pegula despite having 3 match points on her serve. Despite this break, it was not enough for the American, who then lost her serve and ultimately fell 6-4, 6-2.

Italy thus wins its fifth BJK Cup, the second in a row, and confirms its dominance in this team competition.
