Tennis season is about to end: after the ATP Finals, where Jannik Sinner took the crown again but Carlos Alcaraz retained the World No. 1 title, there's only the Davis Cup final 8 this week, starting Tuesday and ending on Sunday (November 18-23). Italy, Austria, France, and Belgium on one side; Spain, Czechia, Argentina, and Germany on the other side, for the "World Cup of tennis" taking place in Bologna, Italy.
Italy defend their title, their second in a row, without Jannik Sinner, who decided to take one extra week of rest before next season, trusting on his team that also include World No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti. Spain aims to conquer the title they last won in 2019 with Carlos Alcaraz (but without Davidovich Fokina) and Germany, with World No. 3 Alexander Zverev; Argentina with doubles expert Francisco Cerundolo; and Czechia with Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik will also be big threats.
