The Road to the 2026 Davis Cup Finals

The Lexus Great Britain Davis Cup team has been drawn against Poland in the 2025 Davis Cup World Group I, a best-of-five tie that will be played in September. The British team, led by captain Leon Smith, will need to beat Poland to return to the Davis Cup Finals Qualifiers for the 2026 season. The tie will be played as best-of-five matches, including four singles and one doubles rubber, all as a best-of-three tie-break sets.

Key Players and Previous Meetings

Great Britain will be hoping to have world number 14 Jack Draper available for the tie, while Poland is likely to be led by 2021 Wimbledon semi-finalist Hubert Hurkacz. The two teams have faced off eight times in the Davis Cup, with Great Britain winning seven of their previous meetings. However, Poland claimed a 3-2 victory in their most recent tie back in 2009, despite Andy Murray winning both of his singles rubbers.

The Consequences of Defeat

The team that loses the tie will have to compete in the 2026 World Group I Play-Offs, making this a crucial match for both teams. Great Britain was defeated in the Qualifier First Round against Japan 3-2 earlier in the year, and a loss to Poland would jeopardize their place in the top tier of the men's team event. With the Davis Cup Finals just around the corner, both teams will be giving it their all to secure a spot in the prestigious tournament.

Quotes

The trick. . .is to find the balance between the bright colors of humor and the serious issues of identity, self-loathing, and the possibility for intimacy and love when it seems no longer possible or, sadder yet, no longer necessary. - By Wendy Wasserstein

It's funny: I always imagined when I was a kid that adults had some kind of inner toolbox full of shiny tools: the saw of discernment, the hammer of wisdom, the sandpaper of patience. But then when I grew up I found that life handed you these rusty bent old tools - friendships, prayer, conscience, honesty - and said 'do the best you can with these, they will have to do'. And mostly, against all odds, they do. - By Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith

It’s the way he had a cup of tea waiting for me when I woke up. It’s the way he turned on his laptop especially for me to look up all my Internet horoscopes and helped me choose the best one. He knows all the crappy, embarrassing bits about me that I normally try to hide from any man for as long as possible… and he loves me anyway. - By Sophie Kinsella, Can You Keep a Secret?

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy. - By Susan Polis Schutz

If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember. - By Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

The world is merciless, and it's also very beautiful. - By Hajime Isayama
