Czech Republic are top seeds for 2014 Davis Cup

Winners last year, the Czechs have again reached the final and will play Serbia in Belgrade next month.

Serbia's run to the final earns them the second seeding, followed by Spain and Argentina.

France, United States, Canada and Kazakhstan make up the eight seeded nations who will be kept apart in round one.

The other eight teams in next year's World Group are Australia, Belgium, Germany, Britain, Italy, Japan, Netherlands and Switzerland.

The draw takes place in London on Wednesday.
