With the start of the 2026 season, an exciting journey towards the Salad Bowl also begins. With its new hybrid format that recovers the playoffs with the home/away format, the Davis Cup 2026 It is already decked out to receive the first crosses, qualifying rounds that will define which countries will compete in September for the Bologna Finals. With Italy (champion and host country) and Spain (finalist country) exempt from competing in this first match, we move to different parts of the globe in a series that will be played the weekend after the 2026 Australian Open.

This is perhaps why there is a important absence of world stars. Only three players from the top-20 will wear the jersey of their national team, and both coincide in the same tie: Norway hosts Great Britain in Oslo in a series that could leave us with a very attractive Jack Draper vs Casper Ruud. The match gains importance, in fact, since it would mark the return to the competition of the British, who for the moment has said yes to be the leader of his country.

Spain awaits its rival in an exciting Chile vs Serbia; This will be the 2026 Davis Cup qualifiers

We must pay special attention to the intersection between Chile and Serbia: That’s where Spain’s rival will come from in the September qualifiers. The Serbians start without Novak Djokovic, who gives up an impressive transoceanic trip: Hamad Medjedovic will lead his team, with Dusan Lajovic as second sword, competing against a Chilean squad that leaves with its entire trident: Cristian Garín, Alejandro Tabilo and Nico Jarry will be present.

The absence of names like Auger-Aliassime, Shelton, Fritz, Zverev, de Miñaur, Rune or Cerúndolo subtracts some media exposure, but opens the deck to surprises and leaves some eliminators with very subtle favoritism. Argentinafor example, will be planted in South Korea without a single top-100 in singles, something that has not happened for two decades; United StatesThey will have their 13th best player in the ATP ranking as their leader, suffering from a general scare that could leave them out of combat against Hungary, and Australia could have a very bad time at the altitude of Quito, in what is a very trap tie. We already show you the entire technical sheet of crosses that will surely delight the world of tennis.
