Davis Cup Final - Cobolli clinches cup, is he Italy’s next big star?

Flavio Cobolli clinched a third successive Davis Cup for hosts Italy, and Catherine, David and Matt were in awe at his comeback win. The young Italian came back from losing a first set 1-6 against Jaume Munar of Spain to win a thrilling three-setter in front of stadium-shaking crowd. He was given the perfect platform by veteran Matteo Berrettini, who joined Cobolli in going unbeaten, meaning Italy’s doubles team were not even called into action once. In the show, we ask what the future might hold for Cobolli - will he break the Top 10 in 2026? Plus, there’s chat about where the Davis Cup should go in the future, whether it should be played every other year instead of annually, and how this year’s event went overall.
