David Ferrer took the liberty of sharing a little bit about his Davis Cup past and also praising the current week in Malaga. Ferrer has won the most traditional team competition in tennis with Spain three times. Mark Woodforde, also present at the draw for the 2023 world group, has at least one Davis Cup triumph in his résumé.
A few things were already certain before the draw was made: The two finalists for 2022, Australia and Canada, have definitely qualified for the intermediate round next September. In addition, Spain and Italy have received a wild card for this round, so they do not have to go to the first qualifying phase either.
Germany entered the draw in fourth place. And with Switzerland they drew an opponent who should definitely be beatable. Because it can be assumed that the Swiss will come to Germany with a predominantly young team. The current number one, Marc-Andrea Huesler, is already 26 years old and currently number 58 in the world, but after that Severin Lüthi could count on the two 20-year-old Dominic Stricker (ATP number 119) and Leandro Riedi (ATP number 197).
