Jannik Sinner has decided not to take part in this year’s Davis Cup Finals with reigning champions Italy confirming his absence in Monday’s team announcement, while world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz will represent Spain at next month’s competition.

Sinner, ranked No 2 in the world, led Italy to a successful defence of their title last year in Spain, but will not be on home soil when the Final 8 takes place in Bologna from November 18-23.

“Jannik Sinner has not given his availability for 2025,” Italian captain Filippo Volandri said.
