ITF World Spring 2020 25 Hungary 3-2 Belgium Madrid last year, Canada will have visions of going one better this time around. Sweden, though, have the exciting Ymer brothers, Mikael and Elias, to call upon as well as experienced campaigner Robert Lindstedt in doubles, while Kazakhstan have shown time and again that rankings are not the be-all and end-all. Group C sees three former Davis Cup champions drawn alongside one another and reignites the old rivalry between France and Great Britain. Czech Republic, who will be looking to Jiri Vesely to continue his sparkling form in 2020, are the third team in the pool. Great Britain, on paper, have fewer top-ranked players than other nations but that failed to prevent Leon Smith's side from reaching the semi- finals and coming close to defeating Spain in 2019. France's quality speaks for itself with an astounding 12 players in the Top 100 as well as a proven doubles duo in Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut. In Group D, a heavyweight tussle beckons between 2018 champions Croatia and Australia, who have shown they possess considerable strength in depth. Hungary, boosted by the strong form of Marton Fucsovics, are also in the mix. The four semi-finalists will qualify automatically for the 2021 Finals. The nations that finish in positions 5th- 18th will contest the 2021 Qualifiers. These teams will also be eligible to receive a wild card into the 2021 Finals, along with the winners of the 2020 World Group I ties.
