Davis Cup Finals - Can Italy Threepeat without Sinner?

Davis Cup Finals - Can Italy Threepeat without Sinner?

Catherine, David & Matt preview the 2025 tennis season’s denouement - the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna, Italy.

Part One (00:00) - With Matt reporting from the ground in Bologna, the team look ahead to the first two quarter finals; France vs Belgium, and defending Champions Italy vs Austria. How will Italy cope with the absence of their two best singles players Sinner & Musetti? And can Paul Henri Mathieu complete a redemptive arc from devastating defeat as a player in the 2002 final, to captaining a winning French side in 2025?

Part Two (33:22) - A preview of the second two quarter finals; Spain vs Czechia - a tie that many think will determine the outcome of the whole competition - and Germany vs Argentina. Does David Ferrer have questions to answer and a point to prove as Spain captain? And after of years of saying he’d never play the Davis Cup in its new format, why is Alexander Zverev lining up for Germany?

Part Three (53:47) - Punchy predictions for how the week will unfold and who will be holding the trophy come Sunday.
