Jannik Sinner spearheaded Italy's charge towards a second successive Davis Cup title with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final at the southern Spanish city of Malaga on Sunday.

After Matteo Berrettini outlasted Botic Van De Zandschulp 6-4, 6-2 in the first singles rubber, world number one Sinner sealed the title with a 7-6(2), 6-2 win over Tallon Griekspoor.

It was Italy's third title in the elite men's team competition following their triumphs in 1976 and last year.
