Italian women's tennis is making history once again: in Shenzhen, the Azzurre won the Billie Jean King Cup by defeating the United States in the final, securing their sixth overall triumph, the second in a row. Two singles matches determined the result: Elisabetta Cocciaretto opened the day by defeating Emma Navarro in a doubles match, 6-4. Jasmine Paolini then secured the victory by defeating Jessica Pegula 6-4, 6-2, thereby securing the trophy for Italy without needing the doubles. "It's incredible, I don't know what to say. Thanks to the entire team, the fans, the captain, and the Italian fans here and in China", Paolini remarked, overcome with emotion following the final point. It's been an extraordinary week, it's wonderful to play in this competition, with perfect organization".
