Davis Cup, Jannik Sinner back among the summoned

After his absence (agreed among all parties involved) from the group elimination held between Sept. 10 and 15, Jannik Sinner returns to the list of summoned players for the Davis Cup diagrammed on Monday by Filippo Volandri. Along with Sinner, the Italian non-player captain also named Simone Bolelli, Flavio Cobolli, Lorenzo Musetti and Andrea Vavassori.

Volandri himself explained that these are actually pre-convocations for the final round scheduled for November 19-24 in Malaga and that until the last available date, names could change depending on the individual state of form, both mental and physical.

A return to the Azzurri is therefore in the offing for Jannik Sinner, a major player in the final phase of the 2023 Davis Cup in which he gave decisive points to Italy both in the semifinal against Serbia, also canceling three match points to Novak Djokovic and then beating him in a comeback, and in the very final against Australia, scoring the decisive point against Alex de Minaur to return to Italy the world&#39s most prestigious salad bowl for the first time in 47 years.

In Malaga, Italy, which topped Group A played in Bologna along with the Netherlands, eliminating Belgium and Brazil, will face Argentina, which in Group D, whose matches were played in Manchester, England, finished second behind Canada, eliminating Great Britain and Finland.
