Roman Sinner has confirmed he will skip the Davis Cup Finals and focus entirely on getting ready for the Australian Open. The 19‑year‑old Italian, who won his second ATP title this week, explained that the rest of the season is not yet complete, so he needs to conserve energy for the biggest event in his career.
“We have a long season ahead,” Sinner said. “It’s best to do a couple of
matches and then be fresh for the Australian Open.” The decision means the Italian will not play with his Davis Cup partner in the group stage, in which Italy is one of the favourite teams to move on to the final. Meanwhile, the team’s captain will pick a different pair to fill the spot.
The choice comes as Sinner seeks a grand slam title and is targeting a career‑best run in Melbourne. He plans to play a relaxed tune‑up round in the days leading up to the Australian Open. “It’s all about being in peak condition,” Sinner added.
Sinner’s opponent in the Davis Cup should launch a new campaign without him, but the Italian team can still make a push for the final. The Davis Cup Finals are set to begin mid‑May in France, with games scheduled for the weekend before the first day of the Open.
Fans of the Italian player and tennis enthusiasts alike have been keeping a close eye on his schedule. This move highlights how all‑top players balance international duty with their individual goals. For Sinner, the best chance to claim his first grand slam is at the Australian Open, where every round counts.
As the tennis world watches the Australian Open draw start, Sinner’s preparation strategy ties into a growing trend among young talent. Players are increasingly prioritising big‑stage events over team tournaments to maximise their ranking points and earnings. Whether Sinner will hold true to his game‑plan and add another title to his collection remains to be seen, but his focus on the Australian Open reaffirms his ambition to break into the sport’s elite ranks.
