Overview
- Angelo Binaghi said the federation learned at last year’s ATP Finals that Jannik Sinner would skip the 2025 Davis Cup, despite announcing it publicly only on October 20.
- Sinner reiterated that his Davis Cup choice is final, closing further debate after weeks of criticism over timing and communication.
- Carlos Alcaraz fell to Cameron Norrie 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in Paris, creating a scenario in which Sinner would overtake him by winning the Masters 1000 event.
- Press calculations indicate Sinner would rise to about 11,500 points with a Paris title versus Alcaraz at roughly 11,250, though any lead could be short-lived given the Finals points to defend.
- Fresh off the Vienna title, Sinner opens in Paris against Zizou Bergs on October 29 and says his broader target to reclaim No. 1 is set for 2026.
