Team USA is going back to the beach for its Davis Cup qualifier vs. Czechia.
The USTA today announced that the U.S. Davis Cup team will host Czechia in a second round Qualifier at the Delray Beach Tennis Center September 12-13.
The competition is a best-of-five match series between the best men’s tennis players from the U.S. and Czechia played over two days, with the winner advancing to compete for the 2025 Davis Cup championship. The Qualifier will feature two singles matches beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, September 12, then a doubles match and two more singles matches beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 13. The first nation between the USA and Czechia to win three out of those five matches wins the Qualifier and will advance to the eight-nation Davis Cup Final 8 to compete for the championship Nov. 18-23 in Bologna, Italy.
Both the USA and Czechia will name as many as five players to their competing rosters no later than Aug. 15. The U.S. is captained by International Tennis Hall of Famer and U.S. Davis Cup champion Bob Bryan, whose teams in recent years have featured all of the top-ranked American men, including Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.
Two-day ticket packages will go on sale to the general public at 8 a.m. on Thursday, June 12, via TicketMaster.com, and are available for as low as $30 per day.

Of course, Delray Beach is home to reigning Roland Garros champion Coco Gauff who still trains locally when not travelling the pro circuit. Delray Beach has historically provided a veritable home-court advantage for the USA in international team tennis competition. The U.S. Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup teams are 5-0 all-time when competing at the Delray Beach Tennis Center.
The U.S. Davis Cup Team last played in Delray in 2004 and defeated Sweden with Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish, and Bob and Mike Bryan. The U.S. Billie Jean King Cup Team played a Qualifier at the Delray Beach Tennis Center in 2023 and swept Austria behind local native Coco Gauff—an event that generated nearly $1 million for the local economy.
