Kyrgios joins recently confirmed World No. 22 Flavio Cobolli (ITA), fresh from helping Italy secure a historic Davis Cup three-peat. Cobolli’s addition strengthens an already formidable Italian contingent featuring former World No. 6 Matteo Berrettini (ITA), himself a back-to-back Davis Cup champion, and current World No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti (ITA), a member of Italy's 2023 Davis Cup triumph.
Together, Berrettini and Cobolli were central to Italy’s 2025 Davis Cup triumph – including Cobolli’s seven saved match points and 32-point final set tie-break in the semi-final – helping deliver their nation’s third consecutive Davis Cup.
