Overview

  • Jaume Munar and Pedro Martínez kept Spain alive by overturning the doubles after dropping the first set to August Holmgren and Johannes Ingildsen.
  • Martínez beat Rune 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 in over three hours, saving match points, and Carreño sealed the tie by defeating Elmer Moller 6-2, 6-3.
  • Spain advances to the Final 8 in Bologna scheduled for November 18–23, marking its first successful rally from 0-2 down in Davis Cup play.
  • Barcelona hosts Valencia at the Johan Cruyff Stadium because the Camp Nou remains under renovation and the Olympic venue was booked for a concert, with Frenkie de Jong injured and Lamine Yamal unavailable.
  • Levante drew 2-2 with Real Betis after leading 2-0 through Iván Romero and debutant Etta Eyong, registering its first point since returning to LaLiga.
