Sinner, a key member of the Italian team which triumphed at the past two editions of the Davis Cup, elected to maximise his recovery at the beginning of the sport’s brief six-week off-season after triumphing at last week’s ATP Finals.<\/p>\n

The presence of just one of the top 10 men’s players at this year’s event has prompted discussion over the tournament’s future format<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, after Berrettini and Cobolli delivered for Italy in their quarter-final against Austria, both players spoke about the privilege they felt in competing for the host nation at the Finals.<\/p>\n

That passion was again evidence as both players once again fed off the energy provided by their home crowd to secure back-to-back 2-0 victories this week.<\/p>\n

Already a cauldron of noise following Berrettini’s win, Bologna’s SuperTennis Arena reached fever pitch as Cobolli reached his match points on Bergs’ serve – but the Belgian twice hung on with clutch serving to level at five games apiece.<\/p>\n

The increasingly animated Cobolli had already displayed nerves of steel in shutting down four break points in the deciding set to reach that moment, and the stage was set for a grand finale – although few could have foreseen the drama to come.<\/p>\n

It was next Cobolli’s turn to withstand a series of match points in an enthralling conclusion – escaping four of them in the space of just six points.<\/p>\n

From there, the players continued to exchange opportunities and maintained their high quality – despite the stakes and excitable crowd – as the score continued to rise.<\/p>\n

But Bergs was first to blink, hitting wide to present Cobolli with his seventh match point, which he seized by hammering over a first serve to ignite the celebrations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
