Davis Cup Showdown: The Battle for Tennis Supremacy

Reigning champions Italy will compete against Austria in the Davis Cup quarter-finals, while Germany, the second seed, faces Argentina following the Final 8 draw on Wednesday in Bologna. The draw also sees third-seeded France taking on Belgium, and Spain battling the Czech Republic in the other quarter-finals.

Spain made an impressive comeback from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 3-2 victory over Denmark, securing their spot in the Final 8. Meanwhile, Belgium triumphed over 28-time winners Australia. Germany crushed Japan to reach this stage, with France claiming a decisive win over Croatia. Argentina managed to eliminate last year's runners-up, the Netherlands.

If Carlos Alcaraz, fresh off his U.S. Open win, competes for Spain, a likely matchup against Jannik Sinner may occur should both Italy and Spain advance to the final. Alcaraz and Sinner have clashed in five finals this year, the Spaniard coming out on top in four. The Davis Cup Final 8 is set for November 18-23 in Bologna, right after the ATP Finals in Turin from November 9-16.
