U.S. falls to Italy in Final 8 in Malaga
The U.S. was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Davis Cup by Rakuten Finals by Italy in a 2-1 final decision. After the two countries split the two singles matches, the doubles team of Jack Sock and Tommy Paul fell to Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolleli in a winner-take-all third and final rubber in straight sets that decided the tie. Previously, Lorenzo Sonego defeated Frances Tiafoe in straight sets to open the tie, but U.S. No. 1 Taylor Fritz sent it to a final match with an equally-decisive victory over Lorenzo Musetti.
The U.S. will now wait to see where it falls in the 2023 Davis Cup by Rakuten draw, which will be conducted later this week in Malaga. To earn a spot in the 2023 Finals, the team will need to win a qualifying tie that will be held from Feb. 4-6, 2023.
