Alcaraz injured, missed the chance to participate in Davis Cup 2025

(Dan Tri) - Carlos Alcaraz said goodbye to the 2025 season after losing to Jannik Sinner in the final of the 2025 ATP Finals on the morning of November 17. The Spanish star decided not to participate in the 2025 Davis Cup due to injury.

Sharing on his personal page, Alcaraz said: "I have swelling in my right hamstring and the doctors have advised me not to compete. I have always said that wearing the Spanish national team jersey is the best thing and I really want to help the team compete in the Davis Cup this year."

World number one Carlos Alcaraz has arrived in Bologna, Italy, to prepare for the 2025 Davis Cup quarter-final against the Czech Republic. However, according to the Spanish coaching staff, Alcaraz had to withdraw after tests confirmed he had a muscle swelling in the posterior thigh of his right hamstring.

Alcaraz had trouble returning serve in the 2025 ATP Finals final against Jannik Sinner. Medical tests showed that Alcaraz had a myotonia in his right hamstring, an injury that can easily recur with strenuous activity.

Alcaraz was originally scheduled to play against Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic on November 20. After the world number one withdrew, captain David Ferrer had to rely on Jaume Munar, Pablo Carreno Busta and Pedro Martinez. Previously, world number 14 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina refused to join the Spanish team.

Carlos Alcaraz ended 2025 with a bang, winning Roland Garros, the US Open, three ATP Masters 1000 titles: Monte Carlo Masters, Rome Masters and Cincinnati Open, and three ATP 500 titles: Rotterdam Open, Queen's Club Championship and Japan Open. The Spanish star won 71 matches, lost 9 matches and won 8 titles.

The 2025 Davis Cup finals, which will take place from November 18 to 23 in Bologna, Italy, will be without two of the world's top players. Italy captain Filippo Volandri confirmed that world number two Jannik Sinner will not be playing in the tournament on home soil.

The Italian champions' squad will include Lorenzo Musetti as the main face, along with Matteo Berrettini, Flavio Cobolli, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.

The eight teams participating in the Davis Cup final will play a knockout match to find the champion. The host team Italy will meet Austria in the quarter-finals and if they advance to the semi-finals, they will face the winner of the Spain - Czech Republic match. In the other semi-final, Argentina - Germany will meet the winner of the France - Belgium match.
