World number one Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the 2025 Davis Cup Finals in Bologna. The withdrawal comes after suffering a swollen right hamstring, the Spanish Tennis Federation confirmed on Tuesday. The injury was aggravated during his loss to Jannik Sinner at the ATP Finals title match.
Alcaraz posted on X: “I have edema in my right hamstring and the medical recommendation is not to compete.”
“I’ve always said that playing for Spain is the greatest thing there is, and I was really looking forward to helping us fight for the Davis Cup. I’m going home heartbroken.”
His absence is a significant blow for the Spanish squad, who are to face the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
Italy on its part is missing Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti.
