Tennis star Jannik Sinner says his major goal is to play at the 2026 Australian Open and not the Davis Cup finals, scheduled to hold next month.
The second-ranked Sinner, who led Italy to tennis’ biggest team trophy the past two years, said that he prefers to prepare for next season instead of helping the Azzurri aim for another title in Bologna next month
“It wasn’t an easy decision, but after Turin (where the ATP Finals are played the week before the Davis Cup), the goal is to start off on the right foot in Australia,” Sinner said, referring to the Australian Open, where he is the two-time defending champion.
“It doesn’t seem like it, but a week of preparation in that period can make a difference,” Sinner told Sky Italia on Monday from Vienna, where he is playing this week.
“We already won the Davis Cup in 2023 and 2024 and this time we decided like this with my team.”
