Jannik Sinner Davis Cup Controversy
Italian veteran Fabio Fognini has expressed support for Jannik Sinner's decision to withdraw from the Davis Cup and end his 2025 season early.
Sinner, who lost his top ranking this year, faced heavy backlash from Italian media and former players over his choice to skip the national team event.
Sinner's decision sparked outrage in Italy, with one journalist questioning his loyalty and a consumer-rights group demanding that his national honors be revoked.
A former Italian tennis legend described the move as "a slap in the face for Italian sport."
However, Fognini, Sinner's former Davis Cup teammate, has come out in support of the decision, which was made to start preparations early for the 2026 season.
