Italy will bid to defend the Davis Cup at the Final 8 tournament in Bologna but will be without Jannik Sinner as they look to complete a hat-trick of titles.
Sinner led Italy to a second consecutive Davis Cup last year in Malaga but the World No 2 has decided to end his season after defending his ATP Finals crown.
Instead, Carlos Alcaraz will hope to inspire Spain to victory, although the World No 1 suffered a hamstring injury during his defeat to Sinner at the ATP Finals.
Spain will open their bid against a talented Czechia side in the quarter-finals and the winner of the Davis Cup will be crowd on Sunday 23 November.
