While addressing the press after their win over Australia, World No. 4 Jannik Sinner was asked about what drove him and the young Italian team.

“We know that we have a lot of potential in each of our players, also the captain and everyone," he said. "I think we are all really young except... Simone. (Laughter.)”

Referring to Simone Bolelli, Sinner said that the former’s experience and seniority played a part in their victory and also acknowledged Matteo Arnaldi’s performance.

“He has played this for 15 years," he said. "So he gave us a lot of experience in one way and I think the player who is playing the match sees this kind of thing. Matteo, who came for us, was really important.”

Jannik Sinner further expressed his desire to win the Davis Cup one more time.

“Let's see. We are all very young. We are really hungry to try to win it one more time for our life, but another way, you know, having this feeling at least once, it is a really special feeling," he said.
