Polemic around Jannik Sinner: Volandri drastic

Reached by Gazzetta dello Sport, Filippo Volandri è expressed himself on the Jannik Sinner issue: "I have been evaluating his behavior since I have been captain, and Sinner è has often been available. In Bratislava, when we had to qualify, è he came within days of changing coaches, at an emotionally difficult time. Last year è he came to Bologna despite the painful defeat to Alcaraz. This is excessive criticism".

"This Davis comes at a complicated time. The players are coming back from five weeks in America, and those who, like Jannik, have played more, è, è tried. In the match with Zverev he was physically struggling; it è showed. I was there; it was unbearably hot. The night of the defeat, Sinner could not sleep, he called me. He asked for some time to see how his body would react, then we also talked with Vagnozzi and decided to preserve the athlete" said Volandri.

Sinner communicated via social the decision not to participate in the Davis Cup: "Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to recover after the tournaments in America and unfortunately will not be able to be part of the team in Bologna. It's always an honor to play for our country and I am convinced that I will return to the national team as soon as possible".
