Italy and Spain to Clash in Davis Cup Finals
The Davis Cup Finals will come to a close on November 23, 2025, with a highly anticipated match between Italy and Spain at the SuperTennis Arena in Bologna, Italy. This encounter marks the first Davis Cup final between the two teams since 1977. The tournament, categorized as a Davis Cup event, will be played on a hard indoor surface.
Italy, the defending champions, has shown impressive performance in the competition, having not lost a single match in Bologna. They have convincingly defeated Austria and Belgium in the first two rounds. Meanwhile, Spain has demonstrated remarkable resilience, starting with a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic and then outsmarting Germany with the same scoreline in the semifinals.
The match will feature notable players, including Matteo Berrettini, who is unbeaten in his last 10 Davis Cup matches, and Pablo Carreno Busta, who has experience on his side. The head-to-head between the duo is currently locked at 1-1, with Carreno Busta winning their most recent encounter in the 2022 Canadian Open.
Other key matches include Flavio Cobolli against Jaume Munar, where Munar leads the head-to-head 1-0, and the doubles match between Marcel Granollers, Pedro Martinez, and Andrea Vavassori, Simone Bolelli. The Spanish pair of Granollers and Martinez have been excellent, dropping only one set so far.
Historically, Italy and Spain have faced each other 13 times in the Davis Cup, with Italy leading the overall head-to-head 7-6. However, Spain has won the last three meetings, most recently defeating Italy 4-1 in the 2006 Davis Cup Round of 16.
The upcoming match is expected to be closely contested, with Italy having the edge due to Berrettini’s momentum and home advantage. Nevertheless, Spain’s depth in singles and a reliable doubles team keeps them in contention. The match may be decided by a doubles bout, where Granollers and Martinez are yet to lose a match at the event. Ultimately, Italy is predicted to win 2-1, with at least one singles match expected to go the distance.
