MADRID (AP) — Spain begins its title defense at the Davis Cup Finals without Rafael Nadal and with all eyes on the teenager touted as his heir. The 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz will be attracting attention when Spain starts on Friday against Ecuador. Alcaraz is coming off a title at the Next Gen ATP Finals.

The tournament wasn’t played in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
