The decision of Jannik Sinner not to participate in the Davis Cup Finals has caused an earthquake in Italy. Many of his compatriots do not understand his absence, with Bologna being the tournament venue. The situation has escalated to the point where the Italian consumer organization, called Codacons, has issued a harsh statement against the tennis player demanding that all honors be revoked from him: "Sinner's decision to refuse to play the Davis Cup is a slap in the face to Italy, Italians, and millions of passionate tennis fans. One cannot represent Italy in the world by withdrawing official awards only to then make diametrically opposite sporting decisions."
"For this reason, we request that all honors be taken away from him and that the institutional recognitions granted, from the appointment as Ambassador of Sports Diplomacy by the Farnesina to the Gold Collar for Sporting Merit from CONI, and even the honorary citizenship of the City of Turin, be revoked. If Sinner devoted less time to filming commercials for any product, perhaps he could better represent his country both inside and outside of sports."
