In next week's Davis Cup qualifying round in Bologna, Jannik Sinner will most likely not be on the court with the Azzurri. "Jannik experienced an extremely physical and intense match with Zverev. The most important thing now is for him to recover. This takes time, so he needs to rest and recover," Italian team captain Filippo Volandri said yesterday. "Only his body can give him an answer. We are in contact with him and are waiting for him to give us updates, knowing, however, that we still have a team up to the task ahead of us in Bologna". Berrettini was also "looking forward to coming to play in Davis, he was excited. He too, however, now has to think about recovering," Volandri explained. The Azzurri will make their Group A debut on Wednesday 13 at 3 p.m. against Canada, which defeated Italy in the semifinals last year before overwhelming Australia in the final and winning Davis for the first time. After Canada, the Italian national team will return to the court on Friday 15 at 3 p.m. to face Chile, then close on Sunday 17.
