Italy got off to a good start in the Davis Cup and won the first Group A match against Croatia 3-0.

In the first match played at the Unipol Arena in Bologna Lorenzo Musetti (Sinner's substitute who is among the squads but is not physically at his best and therefore will start playing later in the tournament) got rid of Gojo mercilessly, easily defeated with the result of 6-4, 6-2 in one hour and 26 minutes of play.

Matteo Berrettini's victory over Borna Coric , number 26 Atp who recently triumphed at the Master 1000 in Cincinnati, was more difficult. The Roman tennis player lost a first set struggling at the tie break, then took off: 6-7, 6-2, 6-1 the score in two hours and 24 minutes.

The double, irrelevant for the purposes of the victory but which can prove useful for the classification in case of arrival on equal points, is won by Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini , who beat the very strong Croatian couple formed by Mektic and Pavic for 3-6, 7- 5, 7-6 .
