Sixteen teams competed last week in the group stage of the Davis Cup finals in Bologna, Manchester, Valencia and Zhuhai, with the group winners and runners-up at each venue advancing in the annual men's team competition.

The eight quarter-finalists will compete to be crowned 2024 champions in Malaga, Spain, from November 19 to 24, with knockout ties consisting of two singles matches and a doubles match.

The world number one could face third-ranked Carlos Alcaraz in the title match on November 24 as Italy and the hosts are on opposite sides of the draw.
