Tennis. Italy wins the Davis Cup in Malaga, Spain. This is their third Davis Cup triumph, following Panatta’s in 1976 and the previous year (2023), which Sinner had already clearly dominated. It’s also the first time since the Czech Republic won the double in 2012-2013, back-to-back. For Sinner, it’s been a year beyond words: two Grand Slams, three Masters 1000 titles, the ATP Finals, the world number one title he secured in June and carried through to December, and now his second Davis Cup title. Jannik Sinner closes with 73 wins and 6 losses, a record among the best years ever, and is the seventh player ever to beat a top 10 player 18 times in the same season.
