Jannik Sinner defends himself against criticism for skipping matches for Italy at the 2020 Davis Cup following a grueling US Open contest. Sinner prefers indoor competitions, and the challenging scheduling post-US Open, combined with the necessity to recover and prepare for the year’s end, prevented him from participating.

Acknowledging that it’s impossible to satisfy everyone, Sinner asserts that he wholeheartedly represented Italy when he could. Despite the criticism, Sinner remains upbeat and committed to supporting his team.
