Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini kept alive Italy’s hopes of a first Davis Cup title since 1976 on Thursday in Malaga, where the doubles duo edged Tommy Paul and Jack Sock 6-4, 6-4 to clinch a hard-fought quarter-final win against the USA.

Bolleli and Fognini, who have lifted five tour-level titles together, including two this season, clinched the only break of serve in each set in the decisive doubles match to give Italy a 2-1 victory against the 32-time champions.

“I am really happy, I am here with my 'brother' and we played really well,” Fognini told daviscup.com after helping Italy reach the semi-finals of the team event for the first time since 2014.

“I am happy for me, for Fabio, for the team,” added Bolelli. “It was really tough, but it is great to be through to the semi-finals.”

Bolelli/Fognini Return To Buenos Aires Winners' Circle

Spoiler:

The Italians saved all six break points faced Sunday
Ten years after winning their second team title in Buenos Aires, Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini returned to the winners’ circle in Argentina’s capital city Sunday.

The six-time tour-level titlists cruised to a 6-2, 6-4 final victory against Nicolas Barrientos and Ariel Behar at the 2023 Argentina Open. Bolelli and Fognini didn’t drop a set all week en route to their first title of the season. In the championship match, the third seeds saved all six break points faced and won 13 of 16 points off their second serve to collect the trophy.

Their title run in Buenos Aires comes after an 0-2 start to the season, including a disappointing first-round exit in Melbourne, where they were seeded ninth. The Italians won their maiden Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open in 2015.

This past season, Bolelli and Fognini won two team titles: Rio de Janeiro and Umag. Five of their six titles have come on clay.

Barrientos and Behar were competing in their first ATP Tour final, with their best previous result a quarter-final run last week in Cordoba.
