Sinner leads Italy into the final round

Italy's selection players have booked their ticket early for the Davis Cup finals in Malaga at the end of November. The decisive factor was Jannik Sinner's 7:5, 1:6, 6:3 against Francisco Cerundolo, which secured Italy's second victory in the day's duel with Argentina. After the opening success against Croatia, In which Sinner, who was still slightly injured at the time, was rested, the Azzurri can plan for the next round before the final group game against Sweden on Sunday. After Matteo Berrettini (ATP 6)'s clear 2:6, 3:15 at the start against Sebastian Baez (ATP 37), Sinner (ATP 11) landed the decisive victory in a duel with Cerundolo (ATP 27). However, this was preceded by a lot of hard work. The 24-year-old Argentine, who had benefited from Sinner's task in the only duel so far this year in Miami, made life difficult for the Puster native from the start. With a break at 5:5, Sinner paved the way to winning the first set. In the second set, the South Tyrolean quickly missed a break point, and as a result, his first service game was taken away from him and, as a result, the entire set a short time later. In the decisive third round, both opponents offered their best tennis, with Sinner's class ultimately clearly prevailing. “I didn’t have my best day today, but I brought the point home,” said Sinner after the match. He was visibly impressed by the atmosphere in the hall in Bologna: “It was simply fantastic. I’m glad I was able to satisfy the fans with my win.” In the final doubles, which only had statistical value, Bolelli/Fognini lost to the South American duo Gonzalez/Zeballos 5:7, 6:2, 3:6. Davis Cup preliminary round in Bologna: Italy-Argentina 2:1 Matteo Berrettini – Sebastian Baez 6:2, 6:3 Jannik Sinner – Francisco Cerundolo 7:5, 1:6, 6:3 Bolelli/Fognini – Gonzalez/Zeballos 5:7, 6:2, 3:6
