Davis Cup Finals, here is the program of the group stage. Italy, debut with Croatia

Everything is ready for the third edition of the Davis Cup Finals by Rakuten. The ITF and Kosmos Tennis have announced the group stage schedule, which will be played for the first time in four different locations. Bologna, Glasgow, Hamburg and Valencia are the cities chosen to host the six-day event (from 13 to 18 September) which will decide access to the final phase scheduled for November (21-27). The matches will be spread over six days with only one tie scheduled per day at each venue. The matches will begin simultaneously at 4 pm. The top two teams in each group will enter the knockout phase, which will take place at the Palacio de Deportes José Maria Martin Carpena in Malaga from 21 to 27 November.
