Italy won the Billie Jean King Cup in Malaga last week over Slovakia. The Italians follow Australia (1964, 1965, and 1973), the United States (1969, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, and 1990), the Czech Republic (2012), and Russia (2021). Australia has accomplished the feat three times, and the United States have won the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup six times in the same year.

Spaghetti has Italian origins, and is often served with meat balls. Spaghetti factories were established throughout Italy in the 19th century, and have been a major part of Italian cuisine over the last two centuries.

Matteo Berrettini, Davis Cup champion at last 🥲

Berrettini, the 2021 Wimbledon finalist, was not part of the 2023 Italian team that won the Davis Cup because of an ankle injury. In the 2024 Davis Cup finals, Berrettini beat Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands, 6-4, 6-2.
