Davis (Pique?) Cup by Rakuten Finals, Madrid
Map! |
Puerta de Europa |
BBVA headquarters - La Vela |
It's a box! But! It's a magic box! - La Caja Magica |
So in pictures I avoided Old Madrid, because this is not the old Davis Cup. You feel me? :))
It's the Finals. Here's how it'll shake up: six groups of three nations each. Group winners and the two best 2nd places from the six groups go to the QF. From there it's a normal knockout system. The ties are made of two singles matches and one doubles match, all best of three and all played in one day. Forgot to say, but all this stuff will happen on HC, not clay, in case you expected that, because of you know... Madrid... Also it will be indoors with all 3 roofs closed.
Here are the teams and the groups (alphabetically by nation and as of 22nd Oct - I don't really care who withdrew or who didn't, so that, sadly, is on you guys...):
