The Dutch were the only team to reach the Davis Cup Final 8 who had never lifted the trophy, let alone of reaching the final. Netherlands have the likes of Dutch no. 1 Tallon Griekspoor and Botic van de Zandschulp in their ranks, who defeated Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz this week.
“The key is the team effort and the belief in ourselves,” explained Dutch team captain Paul Haarhuis. “It was our goal to not lose in the quarter-finals for the third straight year, and we believed we could do it, even though we had a very tough draw with Spain.”
In the second semi-final, top-ranked Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini won matches 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), 6-3, 7-5.
“If we don't win, it's still an amazing achievement (to be) playing (in a) final again,” Sinner said after leading Italy to the final. “We have shown that it was not lucky last year.”
Speaking of Italy, they are trying to become the first country to win the Davis Cup twice in a row since the Czech Republic in 2012 and 2013. Italy's women won the Billie Jean King Cup by defeating Slovakia in Malaga on Wednesday.
