Final touches 👌 #DavisCup
Davis Cup will take place next week and the teams have already announced their competitors.
The Davis Cup is on the verge of its conclusion week starting on November 21, with the world No. 1 Novak Djokovic (Serbia) and Jannik Sinner (Italy) as the tournament's main figures. Both reached the semifinals of the ATP Finals and continue their quest for the title.
The defending champions of 2022, Canada, welcome back the world No. 19, Felix Auger-Aliassime, alongside Gabriel Diallo, Alexis Galarneau, and Vasek Pospisil. They clinched the Group A title in Bologna in September.
Former Wimbledon runner-up Milos Raonic has also been named in the Canadian team and could make his first Davis Cup appearance since 2018. Canada will face Finland in the first round on Tuesday, November 21, led by the world No. 67, Emil Ruusuvuori.
On Wednesday, November 22, the second quarterfinal will see Australia, the runner-up in 2022, against the Czech Republic. Both teams, led by De Minaur and Jiri Lehecka, respectively, have remained unchanged since the Group Stage in September.
Sinner, not taking a break after the ATP Finals in Turin, will play against the Netherlands on Thursday, November 23, after missing the Group Stage due to injury. The Dutch team is led by the world No. 25, Tallon Griekspoor, and the No. 3 doubles player in the world, Wesley Koolhof.
The last quarterfinal series, scheduled for the night of Thursday, November 23, will feature Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, with his teammates Laslo Djere, Dusan Lajovic, Miomir Kecmanovic, and Hamad Medjedovic. Serbia, captained by Viktor Troicki, will face Great Britain, led by Cameron Norrie, with notable figures like Daniel Evans and 3-times Grand Slam champion Andy Murray, along with Jack Draper, 21 years old, and Neal Skupski, No. 4 in the world in doubles.
The Davis Cup quarterfinals will take place from Tuesday, November 21, to Thursday, November 23. The semifinals will be held on Friday, November 24, and Saturday, November 25, with the 2023 Davis Cup final taking place on Sunday, November 26.
