Sinner absent for Italy
Italy have been the Davis Cup champions two years in a row and are keen to defend their crown on home soil later this month, despite the notable absentee in world number one Jannik Sinner.
Sinner has had an incredible year, reaching all four Grand Slam finals, winning both the Australian Open and Wimbledon. In preparation for the Australian Open in 2026, the first Grand Slam event of the year, he’s decided to miss the Davis Cup.
That said, it’ll be Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli (ranked ninth and 22nd respectively) looking to lead Team Italy for a third consecutive win in the tournament. Their quarter-final clash is against Austria, whose leading player Filip Misolic is ranked 92nd.
Despite Sinner being a non-runner for this event, you’d think given Italy’s record in the tournament that they have every chance to complete the hat-trick in their home country.
Carlos Alcaraz confirmed for Spain
Spain last won this tournament six years ago, but with world number two Carlos Alcaraz among their ranks, their chances look better than ever this year, captained by David Ferrer.
There has been some controversy, however, surrounding Ferrer’s picks, as he’s selected Pedro Martinez instead of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who’s enjoying the best year of his career, reaching 15th in the world, a career-high.
Martinez, on the other hand, hasn’t won a match since August and seems to be going through a fairly rough patch, turning heads at Ferrer’s seemingly strange selection.
Fokina missed Spain’s previous two ties due to injury, which may have played a role in his exclusion from the finals squad.
That said, the presence of Alcaraz should bolster the team’s chances and they look the favourites heading into this year’s finals.
