Sinner, absent for the Davis Cup final phase with Italy: "I accept all criticism"

In Italy, Jannik Sinner's absence for the Davis Cup Final 8 in Bologna is not going down well.

For the past few hours, Sinner has been heavily criticized by the Italian media. The country was indeed stunned to discover the absence of the world number 2 from the list of players called up by Filippo Volandri to compete in the Davis Cup final phase in Bologna from November 18 to 23.

As the two-time defending champion, the Squadra Azzurra will have to do without Sinner's services against Austria in the quarterfinals. After his opening win at the ATP 500 in Vienna against Daniel Altmaier (6-0, 6-2), the main person involved commented on his absence from his captain's list.

"The only thing I can say is that I accept all criticism. I have already spoken in detail on this subject and I have nothing more to add. After Vienna, I will play the Paris Masters 1000.

So I have three tournaments left before the end of the season, it's time to make one last big effort," Sinner stated, who will face Flavio Cobolli in the round of 16 in Vienna, for the media Punto de Break.
