Davis Cup: Filippo Volandri Aims for a Fourth Title, With or Without Jannik Sinner

Here we go. Italy is ready to give it its all to win back the Davis Cup. The event takes place in Bologna from November 24 to 29, for the Final Eight of a tournament in which the Azzurri have been major contenders in recent years.

In fact, Italy won the 2023, 2024, and 2025 editions. They’re aiming for a fourth consecutive title—a feat last achieved by the United States a full 54 years ago. Clearly, it would be an incredible record that would further cement the absolute caliber of the Italian team led by Filippo Volandri.

The captain of the Italian Davis Cup team knows how to win. All three victories came with different lineups. The key is selecting the best players right before the event, focusing on those in peak form—both physically and mentally.

And this is where Jannik Sinner comes back into the picture. The world No. 1 is training hard to regain his confidence with the racket and test his knee. It’s impossible to know whether or not he’ll be available for the Davis Cup matches in Bologna. What is certain is his dedication to the Italian national team. Filippo Volandri is pursuing two plans: one includes the world No. 1, the other does not. In both cases, the ultimate goal remains the same: to try to win a fourth consecutive Davis Cup.
