Seeds Announced for Davis Cup Madrid Finals 2020

 

(March 9, 2020) The seeds for the Davis Cup by Rakuten Madrid Finals draw on Thursday 12 March have been announced following the publication of the latest Davis Cup Nations Ranking. 

 

The draw for the Finals will be held at the ITF offices in London at 16:00 GMT and will be livestreamed on DavisCup.com and DavisCupFinals.com. Media wishing to host the livestream can find an embed code at the bottom of this release. 

 

The full list of nations competing at the Finals was confirmed following the Davis Cup by Rakuten Qualifiers last weekend, with 12 nations winning Qualifier ties to join the four Davis Cup semifinalists from 2019 (Spain, Canada, Russia and Great Britain) and two wild cards (France and Serbia) in Madrid later this year. The Finals take place on 23-29 November 2020.

 

The 18 nations will be drawn into six groups of three teams. Spain, as 2019 champions, are seeded No. 1 and Canada, as 2019 runners-up, are seeded No. 2. The four other highest-ranked nations (France, Croatia, USA and Serbia) are seeded 3-6. The remaining nations are placed in either Pot 2 or Pot 3 in accordance with the current Davis Cup Nations Ranking of Monday 9 March 2020.
