Málaga is preparing to experience a historic Davis Cup, an event in which Rafa Nadal from Manaco will say goodbye definitively to tennis after 24 seasons as a professional tennis player. And that is why a giant 2,600 square meter canvas has been installed nearby with his figure on which you can read “thank you.”
In the competition, the eight countries that have qualified for the final event will compete and will compete in the four quarterfinal series. Each series is played with the format of two singles and a double that will define the winner if the series is tied at one win per side.
The winners of the quarterfinals will advance to the semifinals, which will be held in the same format. And the final will be played on Sunday, November 24. Spain, USA, Argentina, Australia, Germany, Canada, Italy and the Netherlands will fight to win Salad Bowl number 112 of the competition.
Sinner leads the Italian team, which intends to defend the title. Alcaraz will do the same in the Spanish team, although in the local team all eyes will be on Nadal. The Americans arrive with a strong team made up of Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton. Argentina also shows talent in its representation in Malaga thanks to the top 40 Báez, Francisco Cerúndolo and Tomás Etcheverry.
