Despite losing to Poland in their City Final in Brisbane, Italy claimed a place in the Sydney play-offs as the best-placed runner-up.

Having led 2-0 overnight, Italy was pegged back by Stefanos Tsitsipas's battling 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 win over Matteo Berrettini.

That put the pressure on Bronzetti's meeting with world No.199 Grammatikopoulou.

Yet despite losing her two previous matches against Grammatikopoulou, world No.54 Bronzetti made no mistake, cruising to a 6-2 6-3 victory.

Italy will now face United States, which beat Poland 5-0 in their semi-final, in the final on Sunday.
