Spain will host Great Britain in the first round of the 2018 Davis Cup, while this year's finalists France and Belgium were drawn against the Netherlands and Hungary respectively on Wednesday. Australia, beaten 3-2 by Belgium in last weekend's semi-final, will start next year's campaign at home to Germany with the United States, the record 32-time champions, travelling to Serbia. The opening round will be held February 2-4, just a week after the conclusion of the 2018 Australian Open in Melbourne.

World number one Rafael Nadal, a four-time Davis Cup champion with Spain in 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011, could line up against Andy Murray, the man he replaced at the top of the rankings last month. France host Belgium in this year's final in Lille from November 24-26.
