Spain has revealed its lineup for the upcoming Davis Cup Qualifiers second round, set to take place on September 13 and 14 at the Puente Romano Tennis Club in Marbella. Led by team captain David Ferrer, the squad features Carlos Alcaraz, Alejandro Davidovich, Pedro Martínez, and Marcel Granollers. The team will face Denmark in a crucial tie that could secure their spot in the Davis Cup Finals later this year.
Alcaraz Returns to Team Competition
Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked No. 2 in the world, returns to Davis Cup action after missing the first round earlier this season. Fresh off a Roland Garros title and a Wimbledon final appearance, Alcaraz brings momentum and star power to the Spanish team. His presence is expected to be pivotal in singles and potentially in doubles, where he has previously paired with Granollers.
Davidovich and Martínez Add Depth
Alejandro Davidovich, ranked in the ATP top 20, joins the squad with consistent performances throughout the season. Pedro Martínez, who participated in the previous qualifying round, adds experience and versatility. Both players are comfortable on clay, the surface chosen for the Marbella tie, which could give Spain a strategic edge.
Granollers Anchors the Doubles Team
Marcel Granollers, one of the top doubles players in the world, will likely lead Spain’s doubles effort. His experience and chemistry with the team make him a reliable asset, especially in tight matchups. Granollers is expected to play a central role in securing a crucial point in the doubles rubber.
Preparing for a Tough Opponent
Spain will face Denmark, led by rising star Holger Rune and Elmer Moller. Captain David Ferrer acknowledged the challenge ahead, noting the Danish team’s strength on clay. A fifth Spanish player will be announced closer to the event, and Olympic gold medalist Marc López will join the coaching staff to support the team’s preparation.
Eyes on the Davis Cup Finals
Victory in Marbella would send Spain to the Davis Cup Finals in November. With a strong lineup and home-court advantage, the team is optimistic about its chances. The tie promises high-level tennis and a passionate crowd as Spain looks to reclaim its place among the elite in international competition.
Carlos Alcaraz in 2025
Ranked world no.2, Carlos played his last match on the 8th of August when he was defeated by Unknown Player bye in the 1st round in Cincinnati (draw).
Currently, during this season the Spaniard has an overall 48-6 match record. Carlos has won 5 titles in 2025 in Rotterdam, Monte-Carlo, Rome, French Open and London. Carlos got to the final in Barcelona and Wimbledon.
