Lorenzo Musetti Withdraws from Italy’s Davis Cup Team

Posted : 14 November 2025

Lorenzo Musetti has pulled out of Italy’s Davis Cup squad ahead of next week’s finals in Bologna, citing both physical fatigue and family commitments following his defeat to Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals in Turin.

The 23-year-old joins Jannik Sinner, who also opted out to focus on preparing for his Australian Open title defense, leaving Italy without two of their top players despite being two-time defending champions.

Musetti made his ATP Finals debut this week as a late replacement for Novak Djokovic, having missed automatic qualification after losing to the Serb in Athens.

Unlike the other competitors, he had minimal preparation time and had endured three grueling matches in Athens before facing Djokovic. The Italian explained that his partner is expecting a child soon, making it difficult to commit to the Davis Cup on top of recovering from recent physical exertion.

“Given my physical condition and my family situation, in agreement with captain Filippo Volandri, I have decided not to participate in the Davis Cup finals in Bologna,” Musetti said.

He expressed disappointment at missing the event but acknowledged the toll of his recent matches and personal responsibilities. Lorenzo Sonego, who has been practicing in Turin, is expected to replace Musetti in the team.

In Turin, Musetti’s loss to Alcaraz, 6-4, 6-1, ended his chance to reach the ATP Finals semifinals. Alcaraz, who won all three of his round-robin matches to top the Jimmy Connors Group, will now face either Alexander Zverev or Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinals.

The Spaniard emphasized the significance of the Davis Cup, noting that representing one’s country alongside teammates is a unique honor. He added that it was understandable for players like Sinner and Musetti to skip the competition after a long season.
