Very intense weekend with the second qualifying round for the Final Phase of Davis Cup 2025. Eight teams will be in Bologna deservedly to fight for the coveted trophy. We review the tie of each of them and also talk about the notable absentees, who have won the most titles in the history of the competition.

Spain, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Austria, and France will be the nations present in the Final Phase of Davis Cup 2025. However, only one tie was decided by 4-0, and up to four had to go to the fifth match to break the tie. The spirit of the Davis Cup was more present than ever this mid-September weekend.

Spain achieved a historic feat by coming back from 0-2 for the first time. It seemed impossible, but an imperial Pedro Martínez was able to defeat Holger Rune and resolved a very difficult situation. The team captained by David Ferrer was one point away from elimination, and in the doubles, they lost the first set 1-6. However, the Spanish spirit and grit are always present and were crucial in achieving this feat without their main players: Carlos Alcaraz, Alejandro Davidovich, and Marcel Granollers.

Argentina will return to the final phase by overcoming the reigning runner-up, Netherlands. The Argentine team regained their shine with a superb 3-0 victory that the 'Oranje' slightly masked with a 3-1 result, with experienced players Andrés Molteni and Horacio Zeballos leading alongside the good performance of Tomás Etcheverry and Francisco Cerúndolo. A very complete team to watch out for in Bologna.

Belgium also joined the celebration and was perhaps the biggest surprise of the weekend, as Zizou Bergs and Raphael Collignon sent a historically strong nation like Australia to defeat. The Australians, the second most successful country in the tournament's history, with players like Alex de Miñaur, Jordan Thompson, Aleksandar Vukic, Rinky Hijikata, and John Peers, were not enough and suffered a harsh defeat. Australia has not won the trophy since 2003 but were runners-up in 2022 and 2023.

Czech Republic performed another miracle in this qualifying phase. Playing as visitors in the United States, behind 2-1, everything was against them. However, Jiri Lehecka defeated a top 5 player like Taylor Fritz, and Jakub Mensik, their most prized pearl, did the same against Frances Tiafoe, leaving him no chance and further deepening his bad streak. Thus, a new debacle for the United States was confirmed, the country with the most Davis Cups in history, but this time not even among the top eight of the year.

Germany had the easiest tie, facing Japan. Yoshihito Nishioka and Shintaro Mochizuki were helpless against a team missing Alexander Zverev. The world number three should be part of the Final Phase, posing a threat with a well-established doubles pair like Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz for potential crucial matches in Bologna.

Italy will act as the top contender to defend the title at home this coming November. Despite not having match practice due to skipping this qualifying phase and directly entering the Final Phase, Italy boasts Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Berrettini, and Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori for doubles. Undoubtedly, they are the most complete team and the one to beat, but in tennis, nothing is impossible.

Austria is another surprise in the Final Phase. With no players in the top 100 and after the retirement of Dominic Thiem, Lukas Neumayer and Jurij Rodionov step up, established Challenger-level players whom no one expected to see in Bologna. In doubles, they have Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler, who have played together for several seasons and have good chemistry, potentially challenging teams that might lose points next November. They overcame Hungary, another 'underdog', in the qualifying round.

France, another historical team, will be present in Bologna. The performances of Corentin Moutet and Arthur Rinderknech helped secure a victory against a dangerous nation like Croatia, known for their strong teams. Although Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic gave a point for Croatia, the skillful Moutet defeated Grand Slam winner Marin Cilic to seal the tie and emerge as the hero for France.
