Although it is still unclear if the Finals will be held in Abu Dhabi next year, we do know which four countries have qualified for the year ending competition next month.
Russia and Croatia will contest the 2021 final, therefore earning themselves an automatic spot in next year’s finals.
However joining them will be two wildcards and they have been given to Novak Djokovic’s Serbia who reached the semi-finals this year as well as Great Britain.
