How to watch the Davis Cup Final: Start times, channel details and preview

We have reached the end of the ATP season. Sure, there were no points awarded at the Davis Cup, but it simply feels as if it should be a sanctioned event. This is especially true when you have the top-ranked player, Jannik Sinner, running amok through the rest of the field. In other words, like normal.

Still, having one fantastic player does not mean a team will win the tournament. Assuming Sinner defeats his Dutch opponent when Italy plays the Netherlands in the Davis Cup Final 8 final, Italy still needs to find another win. The Dutch team is solid in singles and doubles, so they will make things difficult.

The Netherlands have never made the Davis Cup final before. Italy won last year. Here is everything you need to know about this year's final.

Start time, channel, and what to expect from the 2024 Davis Cup Final 8 final

Davis Cup Final final details:

• Start time: 10 am ET and 4 pm in Malaga
• Location: Palacio Deportes Martín Carpena in Malaga, Spain
• Surface: Indoor hard court

The great thing about the Davis Cup is that since it's nation versus nation, players might feel extra motivated to play for their home countries. This can lead to upsets in what might otherwise be seemingly one-sided matchups. So while Jannik Sinner should be a heavy favorite against any player the Netherlands has, strange things can happen.

Who will win for the 2024 Davis Cup Final?

Picking against Jannik Sinner at this point does not seem logical. Sure, he can win his singles match and then Italy might lose the other two matches and the tie, but the Italians have a deep roster. The guess here is that the final does go three sets but that the Italians come through in doubles in three sets to earn the victory, their second straight year winning the tournament.
