The top eight nations have qualified from the group finals and will compete at the Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpeña in the Spanish coastal city of Málaga from November 19 to 24.

The Italian team, who won all three of their group final matches despite being without world number one Jannik Sinner, will be looking to strengthen their squad for the knockout stage. Sinner, who missed the group stage, could return for Italy's quarter-final clash against Argentina, adding firepower to a squad already packed with talent.

Argentina secured their place in the last eight after overcoming a tough group featuring giants Great Britain and Canada. The South American nation will have its hands full as it prepares to challenge the defending champions, with two singles matches and a doubles decider determining the outcome of each tie.

Meanwhile, the United States, the most successful team in Davis Cup history with 32 titles, is set to take on Australia, the second most successful nation with 28 titles. Both teams were missing key players during the group finals, but what was at stake in Málaga could see a full-strength American lineup go head-to-head with a strong Australian team.

In the other quarterfinals, host nation Spain will face the Netherlands, and Canada will take on Germany. Spain can count on world number three Carlos Alcaraz to make them a strong contender on home soil. Should both Spain and Italy advance, there could be a potential final showdown between Sinner and Alcaraz.
