Lorenzo Sonego delivered Friday on his Davis Cup Finals debut to give Italy a 1-0 lead over the United States, defeating Reilly Opelka 6-3, 7-6(4) at the Pala Alpitour in Turin.
The 26-year-old, who triumphed on home soil in Cagliari this season, was strong on serve, winning 90 per cent (38/42) of points behind his first delivery and saving the one break point he faced to secure victory in one hour and 31 minutes.
“It was not easy,” Sonego said. “I was the first time for me competing at the Davis Cup and I am really happy about the match. Thank you everyone.”
The World No. 10 Jannik Sinner will play John Isner in the next match of the tie.
