Davis Cup, Jannik Sinner’s admission comes in.

“Even if it hurts, when it takes you have to pull back.”

Back in Turin a year after his participation in the Nitto Atp Finals 2021-when he took the place of the injured Matteo Berrettini-Jannik Sinner was a guest at the Lavazza lounge, where he also spoke about the Davis Cup, the national team event in which he will not be able to participate due to an injury to a finger on his right hand.

“We are strong and we have to believe in it, and we believe in it. We have a very good team around, so hopefully we can beat the United States, which would be an important step. I’m happy to keep working and hopefully next year will be a little better,” the Light Blue began.

“We have a lot of strong players who can compete, and I will be cheering for them, even if from a distance. It hurt me to opt out of Davis, but when it takes you have to back out, even if it hurts,” the tennis player concluded.

Despite having achieved excellent results in skiing since childhood, at the age of 13 Jannik decided to devote himself exclusively to tennis, moving to Bordighera, at the court of Riccardo Piatti. It was a choice that would prove successful, as Sinner is the youngest Italian tennis player ever to enter the top 100 (October 2019) and to win an Atp title in the Open era (Sofia 2020). In addition, along with Matteo Berrettini, Jannik is the only Italian tennis player to have reached at least the round of 16 in all four Slams. For him, 2022 was the breakthrough year: he left Piatti to rely on Vagnozzi.
