He won an Olympic gold medal alongside Rafael Nadal and will now replace David Ferrer as Spain’s Davis Cup captain

Spain’s Davis Cup leadership has been reshaped with the appointment of Marc López as the country’s new captain, effective January 1, 2027. The 34-year-old veteran, who previously won Olympic gold in doubles alongside Rafael Nadal, will take over from David Ferrer, whose tenure concludes at the end of this year.

López’s selection by the Spanish Tennis Federation’s board marks a continuation of Spain’s dominance in team tennis, blending his competitive experience with a fresh perspective ahead of the 2027 campaign. Ferrer, a two-time Grand Slam champion and Davis Cup winner, will step down after guiding Spain through multiple successful campaigns since 2019.
