Haggerty Defends Davis Cup Commitment Amid Absence Of Top Stars

By IANS News November 23, 2025 • 22:26 PM View: 193

The International Tennis Federation: The International Tennis Federation (ITF) president David Haggerty pushed back firmly against suggestions that elite players are turning their backs on the Davis Cup, even as this year’s finals in Bologna are missing marquee names Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

“There’s this false feeling out there that top players don’t represent their nation. That’s not true,” Haggerty told reporters on Sunday, ahead of the Italy–Spain final.

This year’s edition of the historic international team event, organised annually by the ITF, has been without some of the sport’s biggest draws. Yet Haggerty insisted that the commitment from top-tier athletes remains strong.
