Overview
- Fresh off his Turin triumph over Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals, Jannik Sinner has stepped away for an off-season pause.
- He is staying at the newly opened five-star A‑Rosa resort in Salò with his father and has been seen playing golf at GardaGolf and at Royal Park I Roveri with Edoardo Molinari.
- Sinner’s decision to skip the Davis Cup Final 8 was pre-announced, and Alcaraz later withdrew with a physical issue as the Bologna event proceeds without them.
- Davis Cup tournament director Feliciano Lopez says he does not see any immediate challengers to Sinner and Alcaraz for the biggest titles or the top ranking.
- Former world No. 1 Evgenij Kafelnikov highlights Brazil’s Joao Fonseca as a rising threat, suggesting he could reach Turin within the next one to two seasons.
