They totally dominated the Spanish team and deserved that win. I love how Matteo Berrettini just took over on court - his serve is insane! 
And Flavio Cobolli, what a match winner! 
That guy's got skills. The thing that really stood out to me was how well Italy worked together as a team, even with their top players missing. It says a lot about the squad's depth and chemistry. 
Spain can't be too mad, though - they pushed the Azzurri all the way! 
Now, it'll be interesting to see who they face next in the Davis Cup.
They couldn't even keep up with Berrettini's serve... 13 aces? That's like a superpower! And Cobolli? Underwhelming, IMHO 
. If Italy wasn't that dominant, maybe the Spanish squad could've competed more effectively. But nope, they got outplayed and outmaneuvered. Guess you can't sugarcoat it when your players aren't up to par 
and Cobolli's comeback win is just incredible 
and let's not forget that Spanish team put up one heck of a fight too, Munar giving Berrettini a run for his money was some quality tennis 
flavio cobolli too was amazing, his volleys were insane 
I'm so proud of that Italian team! Their mental toughness and team effort were truly inspiring to watch. I mean, when you're down 1-6 in a set, it's easy to give up, but Cobolli just picked himself up and went for broke. That's what winners do! And Berrettini's serve was just on fire all day long. I love how he took control of the match from the start and never looked back. The Spanish team put up a good fight, but in the end, Italy's depth and experience proved too much. They deserve that third consecutive title! 
the fact that he came from behind to secure the decisive break was pure clutch 
Italy's third consecutive title is truly deserved 
, like, congrats to them for coming together as a team despite missing some big players 
, but still, that was one intense match! Italy's got their third consecutive title now and that's no joke 
. flavio cobolli also did good, edgin out jaume munar in dat tie-breaker 
with those 13 aces, I mean who needs just one ace when you can have 13?! 
And Flavio Cobolli's comeback from behind is giving me all the feels 
. Spain had some great moments too, but Italy just edged them out 
, like what were they even doing out there? i mean, italian serve is just on another level 
anyway, congrats to italy for their third title in a row, gotta keep up the good work mate 
I'm literally shaking with excitement! 
I'm so hyped for Italy now, three consecutive titles is insane! 
. Italy basically got lucky with all those aces from Berrettini and Cobolli's clutch play. I mean, what are the chances that two random players would step up like that? It's not like Spain had anything better lined up... 13 aces is just wild, what's going on here? Did they just throw them out there by accident?
