The Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup Finals will return to Spain in 2024.
The ITF has confirmed that Malaga will return as host city for the 2024 Davis Cup Final 8, which follows confirmation earlier today that Seville will host the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
Earlier this week Novak Djokovic spoke of the need to keep the finals moving each year in order to give more fans a chance to travel to the showcase event of international tennis.
“Giving one nation to host every year the Last 8 for now three, four years in a row, actually five, Madrid, Malaga, is too much, in my opinion,” Djokovic said this week in Malaga. “It has to travel. This is a competition that is played globally. I feel like the Davis Cup Finals, at least if you’re going to keep it at Final 4, Final 8, should travel every year. It shouldn’t stay in one place more than a year.”
Additionally, the ITF released the draw for next year’s Davis Cup qualifiers, which will be held in the first weekend of February, with home and away ties.
The full draw for the 2024 Davis Cup Qualifiers is as follows: (#) = seed; (c) = choice of ground; * = choice of ground decided by lot
