Top-ranked Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini won matches Saturday in front of a supportive crowd in Malaga, Spain, to lift defending champion Italy past Australia 2-0 and back into the Davis Cup final.
The home team bowlers did not put a foot wrong but the pitch "surprisingly" dried up quite quickly at the Optus stadium on the second day, eventually helping the Indian batters, reckons Australia head coach Andrew McDonald. India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (90) and KL Rahul (62) frustrated the hosts with their dogged unbeaten 172-run stand that has put the game in firm control of the visitors, who now lead by 218 runs. While the wickets fell in heap on the opening day with as many as 17 batters getting out, only three Australian tail-enders were dismissed on the second day. "The surface looked considerably dry today. It dried out fairly quickly," said McDonald during the post-day press conference.
Novak Djokovic announced on Saturday that his retired long-time rival Andy Murray is joining the 24-time Grand Slam-winning player's coaching team, starting at the Australian Open in January. "I'm thrilled to have one of my biggest rivals on the same side of the net with me, this time as my coach. I look forward to starting the season with Andy and having him by my side in Melbourne, where we've shared many exceptional moments throughout our careers," Djokovic said in a statement.
Australia fell to a historic low after India's pace blitz left the hosts tottering on Day 2 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener in Perth. The rivalry between two modern-day Test heavyweights has lived up to the expectations with the on-field action in every aspect. On the opening day, when India folded on 150, all signs pointed in favour of Australia's dominance. But India pacers, spearheaded by stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah, dug deep, upped the ante, and made Australia perish on 104.
Novak Djokovic announced that he has hired longtime rival Andy Murray to be his new coach ahead of the 2025 season.
After missing the 1st Test in Perth, India captain Rohit Sharma left for Australia on Saturday. Rohit was spotted at the Mumbai International Airport, and was accompanied by wife Ritika Sajdeh, who came to see off her husband. Rohit and Ritika welcomed their second child last week, a baby boy. With Ritika's due delivery date close to the ongoing Perth Test, Rohit decided to stay back in Australia, thus missing the series opener at the Optus Stadium.
