Jannik Sinner holding trophies above his head is an image tennis fans have become very accustomed to seeing in 2024 and it continued as Italy won its second straight Davis Cup on Sunday.

By Fernando Kallas MALAGA, Spain (Reuters) -Italian Jannik Sinner completed a remarkable season by sealing his country a second successive Davis Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Netherlands in the final at the southern Spanish city of Malaga on Sunday.

The Italians, backed by a loud contingent of singing fans playing drums and armed with megaphones in the crowd of 9,200, became the first team to win the Davis Cup twice in a row since the Czech Republic in 2012 and 2013. Italy's women won the Billie Jean King Cup by defeating Slovakia on Wednesday.
