Italy Captain Urges Davis Cup Rethink After Jannik Sinner Withdraws Citing Exhaustion

After the world No. 2 withdrew from Italy’s Final 8 squad citing exhaustion, captain Filippo Volandri pressed organizers: “It can’t be held in the last week of the season… give it the place it deserves.” The event runs Nov. 18–23, two days after the ATP Finals. “I need an extra week off to start training earlier,” Sinner said. Italy won in 2023 and 2024.
