Bologna is ready to embrace the Davis Cup again, this time hosting the final phase. In fact, the SuperTennis Arena of BolognaFiere will host – from 18 to 23 November – the Davis Cup Final 8 2025. But without its most awaited champion, Jannik Sinner.
In view of the event, the Captain of Team Italia by Lavoropiù, Filippo Volandri, has issued the official summons of the Italian quintet (there are Musetti, Cobolli, Berrettini, Bolelli and Vavassori) who will try to win the third consecutive world title, after the splendid double achieved in Malaga in the last two editions. «Jannik Sinner has not given his availability for 2025 – explains Volandri – The Davis Cup is, and will always remain, his home and I am sure that Jannik will soon be part of the team again. In the meantime, I can count on a group ready to fight and give everything for the blue jersey; In Bologna, it will once again be an exciting adventure, I know the value of these guys and I’m sure that the future will give us great new satisfaction.”
Angelo Binaghi, President of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation, comments: «We understand and respect Jannik’s decision, which is still very painful for us, which comes at the end of a long and intense season, in which he has once again demonstrated that he is an extraordinary point of reference for the entire Italian tennis movement. The Davis Cup represents for him – and for all of us – a symbol of pride and belonging, and we are certain that he will soon return to wear the blue shirt with the same passion and determination as always. At the same time, I want to underline the great trust we place in the group led by Filippo Volandri: a solid, united team, capable of transforming every difficulty into a further push. Our boys have already demonstrated that they can achieve extraordinary goals together, and I am convinced that this time too they will be able to best honor the colors of Italy.”
