The 2024 Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup have left a mark on the tennis world, with Málaga as the host city for both events, held at the end of November. Tennium is proud to have partnered with the Billie Jean King Cup, the Davis Cup and the ITF to organize and promote The World Cup of Tennis. Ensuring that everything ran smoothly both logistically and in creating a unique experience for players and fans.
In the Davis Cup, Italy successfully defended its champion title by defeating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final. Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini were the standout players, helping Italy overcome the surprising Dutch team, which reached its first final. Sinner defeated Tallon Griekspoor in two sets (7-6, 6-2), while Berrettini secured the first point with a win over Botic van de Zandschulp (6-4, 6-2). This title marks Italy’s third Davis Cup victory, achieving back-to-back championships after winning in 2023. The day was also historic for Spain, which saw the farewell of Rafael Nadal. The legendary Spanish player said goodbye to the courts in an emotional match, where, despite losing to Botic van de Zandschulp, the Málaga crowd’s emotion and gratitude were palpable throughout the event. The tournament also showcased the rise of young talents like Carlos Alcaraz, proving why he is the future of Spanish tennis.
On the other hand, in the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup, Italy’s women’s team claimed a significant victory, becoming champions just like their male counterparts in the Davis Cup. This win, achieved after an intense battle against Slovakia, reaffirmed the golden moment for Italian tennis. Jasmine Paolini played a key role, defeating Rebecca Šramková in the final, securing the title for Italy with a dominant scoreline of 6-2, 6-1. This victory marked Italy’s return to the top, after losing in the final the previous year. Additionally, captain Tathiana de Piero stood out for her strategic planning and preparation of the team. Tennium’s preparation for these events was essential, managing expectations and creating a unique atmosphere at each tournament, supporting players, and organizing activities that made the experience special for fans and families.
Italy experienced a true tennis celebration, capping off a year of success in both the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup, marking a historic milestone for Italian tennis.
At Tennium, we are committed to continuing to elevate the tennis experience worldwide, creating events that not only celebrate the sport but also bring people together through its passion and excitement.
