Sinner quits the Italian team at Davis Cup 2025

The squad of defending champions Italy will include Lorenzo Musetti as the main face, along with Matteo Berrettini, Flavio Cobolli, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori. "Davis Cup will always be Sinner's home, I'm sure he will return to the team soon ", captain Volandri said about Sinner. "Meanwhile, I can count on a team that is ready to fight and dedicate themselves to the team ".

The reason Sinner withdrew from the team was because the end of the season was too stressful, when he had many important tournaments ahead that directly affected the world number one race at the end of the year. The world number two player is attending the ATP 500 in Vienna, before participating in the Masters 1000 in Paris and especially the ATP Finals in Turin.

In addition, Sinner has also lost motivation in the Davis Cup and wants to prepare physically for the new season. "I won the Davis Cup the last two years, " he said while attending the ATP 500 tournament in Vienna, Austria this week. "We decided not to participate because the end-of-year season is very long, and I need an extra week off to start training earlier for the new season. The goal is to be in good shape when I go to the Australian Open early next year. In the past two years, I haven't been in my best form there due to lack of preparation time. "

Sinner won the Australian Open the last two years, but is still not satisfied. "The goal is to get off to a good start in Australia, " he added. "In the last two years, I did not go there in the best shape because the preparation time was too short. " Sinner's decision to withdraw from the Davis Cup was supported by the President of the Italian Tennis Federation, Mr. Angelo Binaghi: "We understand and respect Jannik's decision. It comes after a long and intense season, in which he once again proved to be an exemplary example for the entire Italian tennis movement. For him as for all. For us, the Davis Cup is a symbol of pride and togetherness, and we believe he will be back soon.".

This year, the Davis Cup finals take place in Bologna, Italy from November 18 to 23, with the eight best teams. Ugo Humbert and Arthur Rinderknech will be the mainstays for the French team in the first quarter-final, with the Belgian team consisting of Zizou Bergs and Raphael Collignon. In the second quarterfinal, Italy, with the core of Musetti and Flavio Cobolli, faces the Austrian team including Filip Misolic and Jurij Rodionov.

In the lower bracket, Carlos Alcaraz and Spain will meet the Czech Republic, with two players in the top 20, Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik. In the final quarter-final, Jan-Lennard Struff and Yannick Hanfmann will join Alexander Zverev to represent Germany against the Argentina of Francisco Cerundolo and Tomas Martin Etcheverry.
