The 2021 Davis Cup Finals are ready to roll at last – a year after they were supposed to be held – with 18 nations bristling for the opportunity to prove themselves in the unique format.

Three matches will take place simultaneously across three arenas in Turin, Innsbruck and Madrid throughout the round robin group stage, with plenty of drama to come on Day 1.

Croatia v Australia is likely to provide some opening fireworks with the likes of Alex de Minaur, John Millman and Marin Cilic in the mix.

Reigning champions Spain, who are without the injured Rafael Nadal, boast a fresh and talented line-up in 2021 and will kick-start their tournament on Friday.

Great Britain begin their journey on Saturday with one of the strongest teams in the draw, even without Andy Murray among their ranks.
