Six-time title holders Spain are in the final for the first time since 2019, when they won the trophy against Canada in Madrid. Three-time winners Germany missed out on their first place in the final since 1993.

For Italy, who beat Belgium 2-0 after their opening win over Austria on Friday, they are aiming for their third title in a row in front of their home crowd.

The hosts are playing the tournament without their top players Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, while Spain is missing world number one Carlos Alcaraz. Zverev was the only top ten player among the eight final tournament participants.
