The new format of the Davis Cup for 2023 gets underway this weekend, as the qualifying ties will take place between February 3 and 5. Sixteen teams will take part in the group stage in September, and four of those teams are already known: the 2022 defending champion, Canada, and the runner-up, Australia. Spain and Italy have been selected as wild cards. The 24 qualifying nations will take part in ties, and the 12 winning nations will advance to September. Each qualifying tie will be made of five matches (best-of-three setrs) over two days. The first day will have two singles matches, and the second willl have one doubles and two additional singles matches. Last year’s Canadian champions were led by Denis Shapovalov, Vasek Pospisil, and FElix Auger-Aliassime. Let’s look at the qualifying pairings as well as some ways in which you can include the Davis Cup in your tennis betting.

The Davis Cup dates back to 1900 and remains the most venerable international team tennis event. Teams compete as nations in a knockout format; while the original competition took place between the United States and Great Britain, the size increased, and as of 2016, 135 nations were entering teams. The United States has won the most titles overall (32), coming in second 29 times, but they have not won sinc3 2007. Australia has won 28, including six when they competed as Australasia with New Zealand, but they are winless since 2003.
When placing wagers on the Davis Cups, there are several different types of markets. Outright betting involves picking one of the nations to emerge as the winner, either of a qualifying tie, one of the knockout rounds, or to win the Cup later this year. When handicapping this, it is helpful to look at recent performances by the competing players in their matches, such as following their play on the ATP Tour or other outlets.
Then there is match betting. In this case, you can choose winners of individual matches. Again, you will want to look at the performances of individual players heading into the matchups. It is also important to look at the context in which the matches will take place, of course. For example, Great Britain has a considerable edge over Colombia in terms of talent, but the matches in Colombia will be played at high altitude, and the difference in terms of oxygen levels could play a major difference over the course of some one-off matches.
You can also engage in set betting if you choose. This involves picking the winner of a particular set within a match. This is a form of live betting that can increase the excitement during a particular match, and it can allow bettors to take advantage of shifts in momentum. If you think about how many times Novak Djokovic has come back for a set or two down to win at majors in the elimination set, for example, you see how set betting can leverage momentum within a match.
