The Argentine Davis Cup team, captained by Javier Frana, is optimistic about the upcoming final rounds to be held between November 18 and 23. Argentina's opponent in the quarter-finals will be Germany, a team whose main star is world number three Alexander Zverev. However, the team captained by David Ferrer does not have a second singles player as strong, while anything could happen in doubles. A potential clash between Argentina and Spain could only occur in the semi-finals. Here is the schedule for the Davis Cup quarter-finals: France – Belgium on November 18, Italy – Austria on November 19, Spain – Czech Republic on November 20, Argentina – Germany on November 20. Nevertheless, the German is currently in the middle of the ATP Finals, so it would not be surprising at all if he withdraws from the Davis Cup in case he reaches the final stages of the tournament that brings together the eight best players of the year. In any case, if Zverev does play, the series would by no means be impossible to win, as his second singles player (Yannick Hanfmann or Jan-Lennard Struff) is not as powerful, while in doubles, Argentina has a very strong pair with Andrés Molteni and Horacio Zeballos. Furthermore, the two-time defending champion, Italy, will face the very tough absence of world number two Jannik Sinner, who stated: 'Withdrawing from the Davis Cup was a difficult decision, but we won it in 2023 and 2024, and this time my team and I made the right decision.' On top of that, Lorenzo Musetti, world number nine, who has played many consecutive tournaments in recent weeks and is currently competing in the ATP Finals, might also be absent. The other team that is seen as a 'bogeyman' is the Spanish team, which has world number one Carlos Alcaraz, although the Murcian is not at full physical strength.
