Italy win historic third straight Davis Cup title

Flavio Cobolli and Matteo Berrettini led Italy to Davis Cup glory as the hosts beat Spain to capture a historic third successive title in front of an ecstatic home crowd.

Two days after he edged an epic 32-point tie-break to confirm Italy's place in the final, Cobolli once again starred as he battled back from a set and a break down to defeat Jaume Munar in three sets.

The 23-year-old's gritty 1-6 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 win sealed a 2-0 win for his nation in Bologna after Berrettini prevailed 6-3 6-4 against Pablo Carreno Busta.
