Big stars take the court at Davis Cup 2024 Finals Group Stage: Who will be in action? Ft. Carlos Alcaraz, Matteo Berrettini
After the US Open, the attention of the tennis world will now shift to the Davis Cup. Just a week after the conclusion of the last Grand Slam of the year, many tennis stars will be back in action soon to represent their country on the road to Turin.
Tennis being an individual sport does not offer many chances to play for your country. After the recent Olympic games, a few tennis stars will get another chance at winning a trophy for their country. Top-ranked men's players like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will be seen competing at the Davis Cup.
Here is a list of players who will be in action at the Davis Cup 2024.
Top players at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals
#1 Carlos Alcaraz
The World No. 3, Carlos Alcaraz will be in action for Team Spain during the Davis Cup. The Spanish star enjoyed an incredible year on a personal level, winning the French Open and defending his Wimbledon title. However, an early exit from the US Open has generated some questions about his current form.
Alcaraz will compete in the Davis Cup for the first time in two years, providing Spain with a much-needed boost ahead of the finals. Team Spain is drawn in Group B and will compete with France, Czechia, and Australia.
#2 Matteo Berrettini
The Italian hopes for the Davis Cup 2024 depend largely on Matteo Berrettini. After his US Open title win, Jannik Sinner has opted out of the next round of Davis Cup fixtures and Berrettini will lead the Italian side.
Berrettini who struggled with injuries in the last couple of years is back to full fitness and will be keen to prove his worth. The defending champions Italy are drawn in Group A with Belgium, Netherlands, and Brazil.
#3 Jack Draper
Jack Draper is one of the most in-form players in the world right now. The big-serving Brit star reached the semifinal of the US Open 2024 before struggling against Jannik Sinner. However, Draper is expected to compete for Team Great Britain in the upcoming Cup.
Draper is set to play a big role within Team GB, especially since Andy Murray's retirement. Team Great Britain is drawn in Group D with Canada, Finland and Argentina.
#4 Alex de Minaur
Australian star Alex de Minaur is set to lead his Australian troops again. He reached the quarterfinal of the recently concluded US Open. The Aussie star will now aim to continue Australia's impressive performances at the Davis Cup.
Team Australia is drawn in Group B along with Czechia, France and Spain. De Minaur could face Carlos Alcaraz in their group stage match.
#5 Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic was knocked out in the third round of the US Open 2024. The Serbian superstar suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Alexei Popyrin to end a season without a Major for the first time since 2017.
Team Serbia has not qualified for the group stages and will compete in the World Group 1. Djokovic could potentially face Stefanos Tsitsipas of Team Greece in the singles match.
#6 Felix Auger-Aliassime
Canadian star Felix Auger-Aliassime is set to be the main man for Team Canada as they aim to win their first trophy since 2022. He has had a poor season on a personal level with fourth round exit at the French Open being his best result in a Grand Slam.
Team Canada has been drawn in Group D with Finland, Great Britain, and Argentina.
