The 2021 Davis Cup Finals are ready to roll at last \u2013 a year after they were supposed to be held \u2013 with 18 nations bristling for the opportunity to prove themselves in the unique format.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Great Britain begin their journey on Saturday with one of the strongest teams in the draw, even without Andy Murray among their ranks.<\/p>\n
