Italy vs Netherlands Prediction Davis Cup Finals Tennis Picks 11/24/24

Italy defeated Australia in a rematch of last year's Davis Cup final. The score was the same, with the Italians winning their two singles rubbers.

First, it was Matteo Berrettini who got their noses in front when he outlasted Thanasi Kokkinakis in an epic three-setter, finishing 7-5 in the third.

Then World No. 1 Jannik Sinner sealed the deal by beating Alex de Minaur in straight sets. Italy will aim to win its third Davis Cup title on Sunday.

The two men combined to win both of their singles matches against Germany on Friday. Van de Zandschulp defeated Daniel Altmaier in three sets, and Griekspoor overcame Jan-Lennard Struff with the same result in the second singles rubber.

Italy vs Netherlands Davis Cup Prediction

Italy has a superior advantage in this final. Not only is history on its side (winning nine of 10 ties against the Netherlands), but they have a complete team on all fronts, including doubles. After ending a 47-year wait for a Davis Cup title last year, they are now heavy favorites to win it back-to-back.

In Sinner, they possess the world's best player, who is unbeaten in his last five matches in this competition. Additionally, Sinner has won 11 of 12 singles rubbers at the Davis Cup, a run dating back to 2021. It will be a challenge unlike any that the Netherlands have faced this week (and that includes their momentous win over tournament hosts Spain), which says something about this irrepressible Italian team.
