Aside from Rafa Nadal’s farewell and the possibility of Spain winning its sixth Saladera, in Malaga, the scene of the final phase of the Davis Cup, there is a lot of interest in seeing Jannik Sinner live, world number one, winner of two Grand Slam this year and great rival of Carlos Alcaraz for the hegemony of current tennis.
Sinner, who has just been proclaimed champion of the Masters Cup in Turin, leads Italy in the last of the quarterfinal matches, where they have Argentina as their opponent. The tennis player from San Candido is his country’s best hope to revalidate the crown obtained last year.
Sinner heads a team that also includes Lorenzo Musetti (ranked 17), Matteo Berrettini (35) and doubles specialists Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli, all captained by Filippo Volandri.
Italy will have an electric tie to start against Argentina led by Guillermo Coria. Sebastián Báez (27th racket in the world) and Francisco Cerúndolo (30) are the main swords of the albiceleste, which also has Tomás Etcheverry and the doubles players Máximo González and Andrés Molteni.
Italy won its second Saladera last year after debuting in 1976. It also has six runners-up finishes.
Argentina, for its part, won its only Davis Cup in 2016 after having lost four finals: 1981, 2006, 2008 and 2001.
