Tomáš Berdych named four players in Czechia's Davis Cup announcement on 26 October: Jakub Menšík, Jiří Lehečka, Adam Pavlásek and Patrik Rikl. He will decide later between Tomáš Macháč and Vít Kopřiva for the fifth place.
Four confirmed names, five places
Leaving the slot open is not a final exclusion: the captain is still monitoring both candidates' form. The organiser's schedule has Czechia opening the Bologna Final 8 against Canada on 24 November at 16:00 Budapest time. Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov are both in Canada's nominations.
That is the start of the quarter-final tie, rather than a confirmed start for each player's match. More context in BSR's tennis section.
