Italy has won its first Davis Cup title since 1976, with a 2-0 victory over Australia on Sunday.

Jannik Sinner beat Alex de Miñaur 6-3, 6-0 in the second singles match of Sunday’s final. Matteo Arnaldi had given Italy the first point with a 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 win over Alexei Popyrin.

“It helps a lot to play for the whole team, and it’s been an incredible feeling for all of us,” Sinner said. “Thanks to the Australian team for coming all the way here.”

The Italians had lost the past three finals they had played against Australia, which was last year’s runner-up to Canada.

Sinner helped Italy defeat Novak Djokovic’s Serbia in the semifinals Saturday. Australia eliminated Finland in the last four, but the 28-time champions have not managed to win the title since 2003.
