In February, 24 teams will compete in qualifying for the tournament according to the well-known format of home and away matches (four single matches + one double match for two days). 12 teams will receive permits after the qualifying stage, 4 semi-finalists of the last year will automatically get into the final draw in November, and two more teams will become owners of a “wild card”.
The final tournament will be held at 21-27 Nowember 2024. Teams will be divided into six groups, and each qualifying round will include three games: two single and one pair in the format of three sets. The six teams that will take the first places, as well as the two teams with the best performance from the second place, will go through to the quarterfinals, which will be played on Friday. The semi-finals will take place on Saturday, and the title match will take place on Sunday.
The 2024 Davis Cup is the 109th edition of the tournament that saw two World Wars and numerous legendary champions lift the trophy. Sponsored by BNP Paribas, Davis Cup is played between national teams in men’s tennis and starting from this year, the deciding set of each and every match is settled by a tiebreak at six games – an advantage set is no longer played.
The four Grand Slams may get most of the attention in the world of professional tennis, but the presence of national events in tennis is represented by one major tournament which attempts to unify world tennis stars. The Davis Cup features countries – represented by their star players – taking part in an intense casino tournament.
