After the victory, Medvedev handed them to the stands the main trophy of the tournament "silver salad bowl", which the women held in their hands for several seconds.
The Russian national team won the Davis Cup for the third time in history.

At the competition, the national team was represented by Daniil Medvedev, Andrei Rublev, Aslan Karatsev, Karen Khachanov and Evgeny Donskoy.
The captain was Shamil Tarpishchev.
In the final, Russia defeated Croatia with a score of 2: 0 thanks to the victories of Andrei Rublev over Borna Goyo (6: 4, 7: 6 (7: 5)) and Daniil Medvedev over Marina Cilic (7: 6 (9: 7), 6: 2 ) in single encounters.
