The Martín Carpena in Malaga is preparing to host a new edition of the Davis Cup, with Spain seeking to win the seventh ‘salad bowl’ in its history. The national team will face the Netherlands in the quarterfinals, with its sights set on overcoming powers such as Italy, current champion, the United States or Canada.
Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Nadal are called to lead the team led by David Ferrer, which also has Marcel Granollers, second in the world ranking in doubles, Pablo Carreño and Roberto Bautista, who has only lost one of his last 10 matches after putting on the shirt of the ‘Spanish Navy’.
It should be remembered that the arrival of Kosmos in 2019 represented a radical change in the Davis Cup by establishing a fixed venue for the final, breaking with the tradition of playing at home or away. This new model, inspired by the soccer World Cup format, generated criticism towards Gerard Piqué, pointed out for altering the essence of the tournament. Although the former soccer player’s company is no longer part of the organization, Spain will continue to be the sole venue for the final phase in 2024.
