Agreements with sponsors often have an influence but from the way you talk about it it seems you are talking about a 250. Madrid is a 1000, one of the most important tournaments of the year, there would be serious reasons to skip it. This story of skipping tournaments or resting is being exaggerated. Due to Sinner’s age and position in the rankings, he has to play all the 1000s and that’s a good thing, unless there are injuries or fatigue. Between the last match in Monte Carlo and the first in Madrid there are practically two weeks, even too long.

More than the sponsors, the federation is putting pressure, in my opinion, to make him aim for Rome
Even Angelo Binaghi’s statements after Miami were very clear and very clearly addressed directly to his staff

Well, in reality, FOR THE BIG, the sponsors are much more important than the federation (= in your opinion, if absurdly JS said “eh, this year I’m not doing Rome”, the federation would disqualify him out of spite?????).
He does a lot of advertising in Italy and therefore, by winning Rome, he would become even more “attractive” for advertisers.
@Dost Then, clearly, it also matters that Roma is a 1000 and NOBODY is disgusted by winning a 1000 (= it’s not like they would give “everything, even at the cost of ruining the rest of the season” if in Italy they could only win a 250 of no importance and with a scoreboard made up only of people above the hundredth position). However, “Players do not need any more reasons to participate or to consider them fundamental tournaments in the season” = in reality, since 20/30 years ago, those aiming for slams have often snubbed some master 1000, even “historic” ones. , using them only as preparation for the slam or even skipping them….
