Serbia (A), Great Britain (C), Russia (D) and Australia (F) have already qualified for the quarter-finals to be held on Thursday and Friday at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney. Nine nations remain in contention for the four vacancies, with Groups B and E to be decided on Wednesday. • The winner of Group B will be determined in Perth when Spain (2-0) meets Japan (2-0). Team Japan’s No. 1 singles player, World No. 72 Yoshihito Nishioka, is ranked lower than all five players on the Spanish roster. He seeks the biggest win of his career against World No. 1 Rafael Nadal. Nishioka dropped just six games against Nikoloz Basilashvili and Pablo Cuevas earlier this week, while Nadal lost 11 games to the same opponents. • Croatia (2-0), Austria (1-1) and Argentina (1-1) are in contention to win Group E in Sydney. Croatia will claim the group by beating Argentina. If Argentina defeats Croatia and Poland defeats Austria, the Argentines will win the group.
