Great Britain have been handed a trip to Japan in the first round of qualifying for the 2025 Davis Cup – which will see Italy host the eight-nation finals.<\/b><\/p>\n

Britain, seeded 11th, will play Japan in the men’s team event in late January\/early February, a week after the Australian Open finishes.<\/p>\n

If they win, Leon Smith’s team will move into the second round of qualifying – which will also be a home or away tie following another revamp for the 124-year-old tournament<\/a> – in September.<\/p>\n

The opponents for Britain or Japan will be either fourth seeds Germany, who reached the semi-finals this year, or Israel.<\/p>\n

Britain are ultimately aiming to earn a place at November’s eight-team finals, which the International Tennis Federation has decided to move to Italy.<\/p>\n

The city of Bologna will host the 2025 edition, replacing Spanish city Malaga which hosted this year’s event in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
