Is there a secret rift between Jannik Sinner and Roger Federer, or is the grueling ATP schedule just too much?
In this clip of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim dive into one of the biggest talking points in tennis right now: why the World No. 1 refuses to play the Laver Cup. We break down Sinner's ongoing absence, the wild online speculation about his relationship with Federer, and the reality of prioritizing Grand Slams and physical preparation over exhibition events.
Plus, we contrast Sinner's scheduling choices with Carlos Alcaraz, and debate whether we will ever see the Italian star suit up for Team Europe.
