Zizou Bergs and Raphael Collignon registered impressive wins in their respective quarterfinal singles matches against superior-ranked opponents to secure the semifinal berth for the first time since 2017. Earlier this year, Belgium defeated Chile in the first qualifier and upset the second-seeded Australia in the second qualifier in September. #1. Flavio Cobolli vs Zizou Bergs With Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti missing out, the World No. 22, Flavio Cobolli, is the top-ranked Italian in the Davis Cup Finals. Cobolli thrashed Austria’s top-ranked player Filip Misolic with a dominant 6-1, 6-3 win in the quarterfinals. He has had his best season on the ATP tour, winning his first title and reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals, his best result in majors. Zizou Bergs has won four of his five Davis Cup Finals 2025 matches this year and is the top-ranked player for Belgium in the ATP rankings. In the quarterfinals against France, he defeated the top-ranked Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets to seal a 2-0 win for Belgium. On the ATP tour this year, Bergs broke into the top-50 rankings and reached the third round of the US Open for the first time in his career. #2. Matteo Berrettini vs Raphael Collignon Matteo Berrettini overcame Jurij Rodionov by 6-3, 7-6 in the Davis Cup Finals quarterfinals to register his 10th win in the tournament’s history. Berrettini, the World No. 56, played only 36 matches on the tour this year due to injury issues. However, he boasts a stunning 10-2 record in the Davis Cup, which includes his six wins in six matches during Italy’s title-winning campaign in 2024. Raphael Collignon stunned Corentin Moutet with a 2-6, 7-5, 7-5 in the quarterfinals to give Belgium a morale-boosting 1-0 lead in the quarterfinals. Earlier in the second qualifier against Australia, Collignon pulled off an upset by beating the World No. 7 Alex de Minaur and Aleksandar Vukic. Collignon is also enjoying his breakout season on the tour, having reached the ATP singles semifinal and the US Open third round for the first time in his career. #3. Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori vs Sander Gille/Joran Vliegen in Davis Cup Finals 2025 Italy’s doubles pair Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, and Belgium’s Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen didn’t get a chance to play in the quarterfinals as both teams advanced after winning the two singles matches. The same can be expected again in the semifinals, as Italy is likely to win the first two singles matches to seal the spot in the final. In case of a need for a decider in the Davis Cup Finals semifinal, Bolelli and Vavassori are expected to overcome the Belgian duo on Friday. The Italian pair is ranked sixth in the ATP doubles rankings after their semifinal loss in the recent ATP Finals 2025. Italy vs Belgium prediction Zizou Bergs famously defeated debutant Flavio Cobolli in the Davis Cup 2024 group-stage fixture by 6-3, 6-7, 6-0. The Italian has improved a lot since then and leads the Belgian by 21 places in the ATP singles rankings. Cobolli defeated Bergs in the second round of the US Open last year and is the favorite to avenge his 2024 Davis Cup loss. Matteo Berrettini’s impressive record in the Davis Cup Finals might prove too much for the rising Raphael Collignon in the first match on Friday.
