Teams to Watch
Spain at Home in Malaga
This goes without saying, but Spain is a dominant force in the tennis world at the moment and houses over five top twenty five players.
They have a plethora of talent from young to old and this tournament in particular will be highlighted by the presence of Carlos Alcaraz.
The young prodigy is a sight to behold and after missing out on the ATP Finals, wants to make things right in his home country.
Nine top twenty players will be competing in this draw and Alcaraz tops the list of those nine.
Partnered alongside another consistent top twenty player who had a breakout season this year, Pablo Carreno Busta, Spain has a lot of power to dish out.
If you combine these two players with the electric atmosphere that is going to be rocking at the Rakuten Finals, you have a definite recipe for success.
USA in a Great Time
Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Tommy Paul are three of the hottest players on tour.
Although their seasons ended, they will be able to carry a momentous stride and a lot of positives from 2022.
Three players who have all shown they can compete with the best consistently, there is a depth within the United States roster.
Doubles will definitely be a key point to consider when looking at this team’s roster, but their play should translate well.
American tennis has reached a point of excitement once again, and these three competitors will be looking to show the world how good they’ve gotten.
Canada’s Duo is Dangerous
Felix Auger Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov are no joke under these conditions.
The most in-form player in the world coupled with one of the most talented make a great duo.
Canada has had success in recent years within this format and there is no reason they should not see the same type of structure this time around.
FAA is going to have to lead this team to victory in the toughest of ties, while Shapovalov plays a pivotal role in the second singles match.
Frank Dancevic will be advising from the sidelines as a coach. Look for this Canadian team to be a firm favorite in most matchups.
