Italy wins Davis Cup through singles
The final needed no deciding doubles.

Italy beat Spain 2–0 in the Davis Cup final on November 23, 2025. Matteo Berrettini won his singles match before Flavio Cobolli recovered from a set down against Jaume Munar to clinch Italy’s third consecutive title. [1]
The final’s format explains why there was no doubles decider: two singles matches came first, with doubles required only if needed. Two individual victories therefore settled the national team contest; a close three-set singles match still contributed just one match win. [2]
The path to Bologna had also changed. The official format history records that 2025 replaced the preceding group stage with home-and-away qualifying rounds before the Final 8. Italy entered that last stage directly as host and defending champion; the other seven places came through qualifying. That distinction separates entry into the finals from winning the trophy. [3]
