(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 2 - Italy will host the Davis Cup Finals from 2025 to 2027, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) said on Monday.
    The 2025 finals will be staged in Bologna.
    The event in the Emilia-Romagna city is scheduled to be held on November 18-23 next year.
    Well-informed sources have told ANSA that the president of the Italian tennis federation FITP, Angelo Binaghi, has expressed the idea of subsequently bringing the finals to Bolzano, close to world number one Jannik Sinner's home town of San Candido.

    The world number one beat Tallon Griekspoor 7-6, 6-2 to seal a second consecutive Davis Cup title for Italy.
    Earlier in the day, Matteo Berrettini had defeated Botic van de Zandschulp.
    Overall, it was the third Davis Cup conquered by Italy after the first clinched in 1976 and the second last year.
