Jannik Sinner has confirmed he will skip the Davis Cup, and Carlos Alcaraz will take his place for Spain.
The Italian star, who was the defending champion of the ATP Finals, said he wants to stay focused on his singles schedule early in the year. “The Davis Cup is important, but right now my priority is my tour commitments,” Sinner explained.
Spain’s coach awarded the spot to the young Spaniard. “Alcaraz brings energy and the right temperament for the Davis Cup,” the coach said. “He’s ready for the challenge.”
Alcaraz will now face the men’s world no. 1 in the upcoming ties. He’s already a contender for the next Wimbledon titles and now has a chance to bring home the trophy for his country. The Davis Cup final will take place in February, with teams competing for the chance to win the silver globe.
This move adds new drama to the competition. The France and Spain teams are both aiming for their first major title in over a decade. With Sinner out, the pressure shifts to the US and German teams to lead the way.
Fans can watch the live matches on the Davis Cup official site and on international sports broadcasters. Keep an eye out for the Saturday afternoon session when Alcaraz takes the court.
Whether the change will boost Spain’s chances remains to be seen. Still, the decision highlights the rising stars of tennis and keeps the tournament’s suspense alive. The next few weeks will show if Alcaraz can carry the anticipation and seconds high for his nation.
