Sinner Confirms Davis Cup Absence as Djokovic Delays ATP Finals Decision, Leaving Musetti in Play

Sinner cites end-of-season recovery in a Sky interview recorded at the Istituto di Candiolo.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner says skipping the 2025 Davis Cup final is the right choice to protect his preparation and prevent injuries after a long season.
  • He explains he played the previous edition to honor a promise to Matteo Berrettini and had already planned to sit out this year.
  • Sinner emphasizes Italy’s depth, pointing to Berrettini, Lorenzo Musetti, Flavio Cobolli and a strong doubles group, and maintains the team can win without him.
  • Novak Djokovic denies having confirmed his participation in the Turin ATP Finals and says he will decide after the ATP 250 in Athens, contradicting FITP president Angelo Binaghi.
  • The uncertainty keeps Musetti’s bid alive, as he must win Athens to overtake Felix Auger-Aliassime or benefit from a Djokovic withdrawal, with Djokovic already into the Athens quarterfinals.
