Canada will open 2025 Davis Cup play with a first-round qualifier tie against Hungary, the International Tennis Federation said Monday.
As one of the nations that reached the Davis Cup Final 8 last month, Canada will host the tie at a venue to be determined.
Team rosters and the playing surface will also be announced at a later date, Tennis Canada said in a statement. The tie will be held either Jan. 31-Feb. 1 or Feb. 1-2.
Two singles matches will be played on the first day, followed by a doubles match and two singles matches on Day 2.
It will be the first-ever meeting between Canada and Hungary at the men’s team tennis tournament.
Third-ranked Canada, which won the Davis Cup in 2022, dropped a 2-0 decision to Germany in the quarterfinals on Nov. 20 in Malaga, Spain.
