Davis Cup Finals 2024: Final 8 schedule, start time, teams, TV channel and odds

Eight teams battle it out for Davis Cup glory this week in Malaga, as Rafael Nadal’s professional tennis career comes to an end.

The 38-year-old will retire from the sport at the end of this event, and he will be desperate to go out on a high by playing his part in Spain lifting the trophy for the first time since 2019.

Italy are the defending champions and favourites, led by world number Jannik Sinner after his dominant march to the ATP Finals title, while there is plenty of depth to the United States side.

Australia were beaten finalists in 2022 and 2023, and now make another bid to end their 21-year wait for Davis Cup success.
