Feliciano López, director of the Davis Cup, spoke about the two most talked-about absences in these Davis Cup finals: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. "I think the fact that the best players do not participate in all the best tennis tournaments in the world is something that affects all of us, all tournaments throughout the year. The calendar is packed. There are too many tournaments. It's very difficult for them to participate in all the tournaments. The Masters 1000 also suffer from the same problem because in the end neither Carlos, nor Jannik, nor any other elite player in the world participate. It's not something related to this competition, the Davis Cup. It's something that happens throughout the year in most of the major tennis events in the world," the former tennis player stated.

The withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz from the Mutua Madrid Open came as a cold shower to the tournament organizers, who saw the main attraction unable to play at the Caja Mágica after experiencing discomfort in the final of the Conde de Godó. The player from Murcia competed in 10 matches in 12 days, and his body is asking for rest. Addressing the choice of tournaments and matches, Feliciano López, the director of the Madrid tournament, commented in an interview with Partidazo de la COPE: "You have to know where to play, especially for players like Carlitos, who have the opportunity to win the title every week. I'm not saying that playing Barcelona and Monte Carlo was the only reason, but it has an influence," stated the Spaniard.

Feliciano López will continue for three more years as the director of the Davis Cup Finals. This has been confirmed by the competition itself through a press release, and these have been the first statements from the former tennis player and also director of the Mutua Madrid Open: "The Davis Cup was very special to me as a player, and it was a privilege to be the Tournament Director of the Final 8 for the last two years. I am honored that the ITF has placed its trust in me for the event's long-term future, and I am delighted to continue in the position in Italy for the next three years, starting in Bologna this November. I am confident that we will continue to strengthen our success in Málaga, and I will do everything possible to ensure that the Davis Cup continues to grow." The toledano has renewed his link with the ITF until 2027.

Everything that has happened with the sanction of Jannik Sinner has generated a feeling of incomprehension among many tennis players, who have felt empowered to criticize the Italian in a more or less veiled way. Two important figures in the circuit, such as Daniel Vallverdú, coach of Dimitrov, and Feliciano López, director of the Mutua Madrid Open and the Davis Cup Finals, have warned about the lack of camaraderie and empathy they perceive among the players. "It saddens me. Most are not focusing on the facts. The real losers here are Sinner and tennis," says the Colombian, supported by the Spaniard.

The debate is raging in the world of tennis. For many, the agreed upon three-month suspension is insufficient for a Jannik Sinner who tested positive for a banned substance. Stan Wawrinka admitted on his social media that he no longer believes that tennis is a clean sport, to which Feliciano López replies: "I do believe, Stan. It is very clear that he has not done anything to enhance his performance, that is proven. He is taking full responsibility for the mistake of others and, consequently, the three-month suspension. Would a longer suspension have made the sport cleaner? I don't think so."
