Not only Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz also misses Davis Cup

"It gave me great satisfaction to be summoned to play the Davis Cup with Spain in Valencia, forò I have to listen to my body at the end of a long series of such close commitments. I need to stop and rest, physically and mentally. The calendar è very demanding and there is still half a season to go. Now I have to recharge my batteries. A big good luck to the Spanish team. I will support you strongly. Vamos!" these are the words of the Murcian tennis player on his own social accounts.
Jannik Sinner, via his social profiles also declared forfeit to the national team for the same reasons as his Spanish rival: "Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to recover after the tournaments in America and unfortunately will not be ableò 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. Best of luck to the guys, see you".
