- Italy’s squad lists Matteo Berrettini, Flavio Cobolli and Lorenzo Sonego for singles options, with Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori as the established doubles pair.
- Today’s quarterfinal follows the Finals format in which the first team to two points advances, with TV coverage on SuperTennis and streaming on SuperTenniX.
