With the start of the 2026 season, an exciting journey towards the Ensaladera also begins. With its new hybrid format that brings back the eliminations with the home/away format, the Davis Cup 2026 is already adorning itself to welcome the first matchups, which will determine the countries competing for a spot in the Bologna Finals in September. With Italy (the champion and host country) and Spain (the finalist country) exempt from playing this first matchup, we move to different parts of the globe for series that will take place the weekend following the 2026 Australian Open.

Perhaps that is why there is a significant absence of world-class players. Only three players from the top 20 will wear their national team jersey, and all of them coincide in the same elimination round: Norway hosts Great Britain in Oslo in a series that could give us an exciting match between Jack Draper and Casper Ruud. The match gains importance as it would mark the return to competition for the British player, who has so far agreed to lead his country.

Spain awaits its rival from an exciting Chile vs. Serbia; this is how the Davis Cup 2026 qualifiers will be

Special attention must be paid to the clash between Chile and Serbia: Spain's opponent in September will emerge from there. The Serbians are without Novak Djokovic, who is skipping an impressive transoceanic journey: Hamad Medjedovic will lead them, with Dusan Lajovic as their second sword, competing against a Chilean squad fielding their complete trio: Cristian Garín, Alejandro Tabilo, and Nico Jarry.

The absence of names like Auger-Aliassime, Shelton, Fritz, Zverev, de Miñaur, Rune or Cerúndolo takes away some media exposure, but opens the door to surprises and leaves some ties with very subtle favoritisms. Argentina, for example, will face South Korea without a single top-100 player in singles, something that hadn't happened in two decades; United States will rely on its 13th best player in the ATP ranking, suffering from a general exodus that could leave them out of combat against Hungary, and Australia could have a tough time at the altitude of Quito, in what is a very tricky tie. We now present all the technical information of the matchups that will surely delight the tennis world.
