The most prestigious tennis team tournament for nations is upon us, as the Davis Cup will officially end the 2025 season in November. Italy is the two-time defending champion, having beaten the Netherlands in last year’s final without dropping a set, and they will host the competition for the first time since 1998.
The 2025 Davis Cup Finals draw is finally out, as the tournament kicks off on Tuesday, 18 November, and concludes on Sunday, 23 November. Malaga has hosted the event in five consecutive editions, but it will be played at the Bologna Fiere Exhibition Centre this year. The opening matchup will be between France and Belgium.
This edition will be missing many top players, as Rafael Nadal will not participate after playing the last event, while Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti have pulled out of the Italian roster as well. Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are the only top-10 players in the competition.

This is the 113th edition of the Davis Cup men’s tournament, and it features eight of the best nations in the world. The Davis Cup Finals 8 consists of a knockout tournament that starts with the quarterfinals, followed by the semifinals and the final. All matchups are played in a format featuring two singles matches, with a doubles decider if the score is tied 1-1.
The quarterfinal matchups in the 2025 Davis Cup Finals are as follows: France vs Belgium and Italy vs Austria in the top half, and Germany vs Argentina and Spain vs Czechia in the bottom half of the draw.
The Davis Cup format has completely changed this year, as it previously consisted of a group stage with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the playoffs. There were 14 teams in the new Davis Cup format that played one home-and-away elimination match, with the seven winners joining Italy (host team) in the final 8.
The United States dominated the early eras of the competition and has won by far the most Davis Cup titles (32), while Australia has won the competition 28 times, with the most recent one being in 2003. France has won 10 tournaments, while the Spaniards have won six titles so far. Belgium and Austria are the only two participating nations this year that have never won the title.
Italy became the only nation to defend its title successfully in the last 10 years, and they will be motivated to achieve the only three-peat in the last five decades. Canada and Spain have been competitive in the last few editions as well.
Here’s a look at the 2025 Davis Cup Finals outright winner odds from the best betting websites for tennis:
Spain hosted the tournament in the last five editions and managed to win it only once, but they have a strong roster for this year and will be the favorites to win. The No. 1 player on the live ATP rankings, Carlos Alcaraz, will boost their chances massively, while Jaume Munar has improved and beat players like Felix Auger-Aliassime and Ben Shelton last month. Italy will have the home crowd support in this tournament, but they are significantly weaker this year compared to the last two editions. Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti are both in the top 10 but won’t play, so Lorenzo Sonego and Flavio Cobolli will lead the team.
France has an interesting and balanced roster for this event, with players like Corentin Moutet, Arthur Rinderknech, and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, but their doubles pair is noticeably weaker than most of the teams in the tournament. Germany’s chances will depend on Alexander Zverev’s condition after playing too much tennis in the last few months, as well as Jan-Lennard Struff staying consistent throughout the competition. Argentina will be an underrated team and could make some surprises here, as they beat pretty good teams like the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, and Great Britain in their last five matches, and they have one of the best doubles pairs in the tournament.

Alcaraz will surely lead the team, and his close loss to Sinner in the ATP Finals 2025 will only add motivation to him. Moreover, both sides are likely to achieve the final game, and this potential revenge should give extra energy to Carlos. However, they still need one victory from Munar or their double pair in every game, which can be challenging even in the opening game against Czechia.

The odds for Argentina are enticing in this matchup, as Germany has struggled against the good teams lately and has been inconsistent. Francisco Cerundolo has been performing consistently well recently, and he is coming off a competitive battle with Jannik Sinner in Paris. Cerundolo will face Zverev in this match, and he has beaten him in three of their four encounters so far, so he could definitely beat the German player.
Tomas Etcheverry is also capable of playing high-quality tennis in the big matches, and he is a little more consistent than Jan-Lennard Struff, while the Argentinians have a small advantage in the doubles matchup, so the value is on Argentina to beat Germany and get their fifth win in the last six matches.

Belgium faced France twice in their history and lost both. The Belgian team lost six of their last 10 matches, and they are clearly the weaker team in this matchup, with two players outside of the top 40. Corentin Moutet and Arthur Rinderknech are both coming off some big performances in October, and they are both sharp right now. Moutet will most likely beat Collignon without many troubles, while Rinderknech should be a slight favorite against Bergs as well, so we like France in this spot.
This tournament will be competitive this year with no clear favorites, but we expect Spain, Argentina, and France to reach the semifinals. Make sure you use our Final 8 predictions for the 2025 Davis Cup and bet on them at the best bookmakers in Europe to have more fun watching the event.
