Next year, the final-eight stage of the Davis Cup will take place in Bologna, continuing Italy's strong presence in the tournament. The country recently clinched the Davis Cup title for the second consecutive time, further solidifying its status in the international tennis arena.
ITF President David Haggerty expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to partner with the FITP for the Davis Cup Final 8. Italy has a rich history in tennis and a proven ability to host world-class sporting events.”

Hosting the Davis Cup Finals is not only a testament to Italy's rich tennis heritage but also an opportunity to showcase its ability to organize major sporting events on a global stage. As the country prepares for this exciting chapter, fans and players alike can look forward to thrilling matches in the coming years.
