Overview
- Captain David Ferrer confirmed on Monday that Alejandro Davidovich joins Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Jódar, Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martínez as Spain’s five-player roster for the Davis Cup Final 8 in Bologna.
- Ferrer has designated Alcaraz and Jódar as the primary singles players and the pairing of Granollers and Martínez for doubles, clarifying match roles ahead of the November event.
- Davidovich arrives fresh from a Shanghai Masters 1000 title and an ATP No. 13 ranking but will skip Basel this week with a reported stomach virus and has not played Davis Cup since September 2023.
- Spain will open its quarterfinal tie against Austria in Bologna on November 26, with the winner set to face the victor of Great Britain versus Germany in the next round.
- Spain’s depth — with Alcaraz at No. 3, Jódar at No. 11 and Davidovich at No. 13 — and its 2025 run to the final make it one of the favourites, and Ferrer’s final squad announcement raises expectations for a title push while also putting a spotlight on player fitness and availability.
