Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn from the Italy team, which will defend their Davis Cup title in Bologna next week, with the 23-year-old citing physical and family reasons after his loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals in Turin on Thursday.
Italy, who have won the past two editions, were already without Jannik Sinner after the world number two decided not to take part, preferring to prioritise preparations for his Australian Open title defence.
Musetti made his debut at the season-ending championships in Turin this week as a late replacement following the withdrawal of Novak Djokovic, having missed out on automatic qualification after defeat to the Serb in Athens on Saturday.
