MALAGA, Spain — Top-ranked Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini won matches Saturday in front of a supportive crowd to lift defending champion Italy past Australia 2-0 and back into the Davis Cup final. Sinner extended his tour-level winning streak to 24 singles sets in a row by beating No. 9 Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4 after Berrettini came back to defeat Thanasi Kokkinakis 6-7 , 6-3, 7-5.'If we don't win, it's still an amazing achievement playing final again,' Sinner said.
Chair umpire James Keothavong repeatedly asked spectators to stop whistling as Kokkinakis was serving.'We're in Spain,' Kokkinakis said, 'but it felt like we were in Italy.'Sinner received the same sort of backing, of course, although he might not have needed as much with the way he has played all year, including taking the title at the ATP Finals last weekend.'We are very lucky that the Italian fans... are very passionate. They are very loud,' Sinner said.
