The consequences of success in Turin: Alcaraz, Jódar and Granollers would have two days to prepare for the Davis Cup

Spanish men's tennis has qualified three players for the ATP Finals 2026, which will be held at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from the 15th to the 22nd. Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Jódar will be there, in the singles competition, and Marcel Granollers, in the doubles category. Everyone starts with options and with the ambition of being in the finals on Sunday the 22nd.

That would mean that Alcaraz, Jódar and Granollers would not travel to Bologna until Monday the 23rd and it would not be until the 24th that they would have the first real training session at the Super Tennis Arena in Bologna to prepare for the Davis Cup quarterfinals against Austria on the 26th in the afternoon. Spain, if they reached the semifinals, would have a day of rest to face the winner of the series between Germany and Great Britain.

David Ferrer, national coach, plans to gather his men in the Italian town on Saturday the 21st, as MARCA has learned.

It would be a day later when the preparatory sessions would begin, which could be as a family, with only Alejandro Davidovich and Pedro Martínez, depending on the results of Turin.

Last season, Alcaraz and Granollers opted for different means of transport to complete the 331 kilometers that separate Turin from Bologna.
