Italy look to be on course to win the Davis Cup for the second successive year. Sunday sees them take on the Netherlands in the final of this year's tournament which is being played in Malaga, Spain. Read our match prediction below.

Italy won this title last year and have been in dominant form all week. They are led by world number one Jannik Sinner. He's won all of his matches this week with victories over Sebastian Baez and Australia's Alex de Minaur without a set being dropped. He also teamed up with Matteo Berrettini to win the deciding doubles match in their quarter-final win over Argentina. Italy changed their second singles player for the semi-final against Australia. In came Matteo Berrettini and he beat Thanasi Kokkinakis after losing the first set. 

The Netherlands are in their first ever Davis Cup final thanks to wins over Spain and Germany. Tallon Griekspoor has had a loss to Carlos Alcaraz and needed three sets on Friday to defeat Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff.

He'll be facing Jannik Sinner in his singles match. Their other singles player will be Botic van de Zandschulp who has won his two singles and one doubles match this week. They have done well to get this far but we tip Italy to win the trophy.
