It will be a surprise not to see Belgium in contention given they have been regular challengers in recent years.

After Friday's play, they were locked at 1-1 with Hungary, and on Saturday, they were unable to lift their levels. After winning the doubles, Belgium were in control, but Attila Balazs secured a comfortable win over Kimmer Coppejans to tie the match.

It meant Hungary's Marton Fucsovics would meet Ruben Bemelmans in the deciding match. After falling behind, Fucsovics recovered to win 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-2. This is the moment victory was confirmed:

"I'm the happiest person in the world right now," Fucsovics said after securing Hungary's first-ever appearance at the Davis Cup finals, per the competition website. "This is a huge achievement for my career and for my country to get to Madrid. I can't wait."

Hungary will be one of five countries making their debut in the finals, with Austria, Czech Republic, Ecuador and Sweden also making it through for the first time.

The United States coasted into the finals, with iconic doubles duo Bob and Mike Bryan picking up a win in their final Davis Cup match. Unsurprisingly, the veteran pair celebrated their success with gusto:

Meanwhile, Germany were able to advance, putting a difficult Friday behind them to breeze past Belarus.

Spain, Canada, Great Britain, Russia, France and Serbia had already qualified for the finals, which will take place at Caja Magica in Madrid between November 23 and 29.
