Coppa Davis 2024, Italy's squad: here are the choices of captain Volandri from Sinner down

Italy's squad for the Davis Cup 2024 has been announced, with captain Filippo Volandri selecting a mix of experience and youth to challenge for the title.

The squad includes the likes of world number one Jannik Sinner, who will be the clear leader of the team. Sinner has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of the ATP rankings in recent years and his big-hitting and all-court game will be a major asset for Italy.

Joining Sinner in the squad is fellow top-10 player Lorenzo Musetti. Musetti is one of the most exciting prospects in tennis and his powerful groundstrokes and court coverage will provide Volandri with another potent weapon.

The squad also includes a number of experienced players who have been part of Italy's Davis Cup success in recent years. Fabio Fognini, Simone Bolelli, and Marco Cecchinato have all represented Italy in the Davis Cup and their experience will be invaluable to the team.

Volandri has also included a couple of younger players in the squad, with Luca Nardi and Francesco Passaro both receiving call-ups. Nardi is a rising star on the ATP Tour and his aggressive style of play could prove to be a valuable asset for Italy, while Passaro is a promising young player who has already shown glimpses of his potential.

With a strong squad and a home crowd behind them, Italy will be one of the favorites to win the Davis Cup in 2024. Volandri has a wealth of experience as a player and a captain and he will be confident that his team can challenge for the title.

Here is the full squad for Italy:

• Jannik Sinner
• Lorenzo Musetti
• Fabio Fognini
• Simone Bolelli
• Marco Cecchinato
• Luca Nardi
• Francesco Passaro
