Six-time champions Spain will gear up to take on three-time champions Czechia in the quarterfinal clash at the 2025 Davis Cup Finals. Spain began their campaign at this year’s Davis Cup with a 3-1 victory over Switzerland in the first round, with Pedro Martinez and Roberto Carballes Baena securing the two singles victories for the team. In the second round, they won 3-2 against Denmark, with Pablo Carreno Busta taking the deciding singles match against Elmer Moller.
Meanwhile, Czechia began its campaign with a 4-0 win over South Korea in the first round, with Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik winning the singles matches. In the second round, they defeated Team USA 3-2, with Mensik winning the deciding singles match over Frances Tiafoe.
Spain vs Czechia Preview Featuring Jaume Munar vs Jiri Lehecka
With Carlos Alcaraz not part of the Spanish team, top-ranked Spaniard Jaume Munar will face Jiri Lehecka from Czechia. Munar has a 30-27 win-loss record for the season, including three semifinal finishes at two indoor events in Dallas and Basel. Lehecka has a 41-22 record with a title in Adelaide and two runner-up finishes in Queen’s and Brussels.
The potential second singles matchup could see Pablo Carreño Busta taking on Jakub Mensik. Carreño Busta has not advanced past the second round at any Tour-level events this year but has won three Challenger titles. Mensik has proven himself at the top level, winning the Masters 1000 title in Miami and reaching the quarterfinals in Madrid.
If the match goes to the deciding doubles, Spain’s potential team would include Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martinez, while Czechia could field Adam Pavlásek and Tomáš Macháč. Neither pair is a regular team, as Granollers has mostly played alongside Horacio Zeballos this season, and Pavlásek has partnered with multiple players.

With Alcaraz absent, Czechia has the distinct advantage with higher-ranked players and favorable head-to-heads. However, if Spain wins a singles match, they could gain a slight edge in doubles, thanks to Granollers, who has won five titles this year, including two Grand Slams. Overall, the ranking gap suggests Czechia should prevail in the singles matches.
Pick: Czechia to win 2-0
