The team competition produces moments of drama and fervor, but does its format get in the way of their becoming the norm?

Two-time defending champions Italy are through to the final of the Davis Cup and are looking to complete a three-peat. Jannik Sinner led his nation to the last two trophies, but the four-time Major winner opted not to represent his country this year, while world No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti also withdrew from the tournament.

As for Spain, they aren’t short on bringing a gritty presence to the table either.

Flavio Cobolli and Zizou Bergs recently shared a thrilling encounter at the Davis Cup. After their match, the players shared a heartwarming moment as Cobolli consoled a tearful Bergs after leading Italy to victory in Jannik Sinner's absence.

He ripped out his shirt in Novak Djokovic's style, enjoying every moment of glory in front of his partisan crowd. Joking after the duel, the Italian did not want to mirror the celebration of his favorite player, acting like the Hulk instead.
