Tennis Canada Press Release, December 16, 2024
Tennis Canada can confirm the World Cup of Tennis will return to Montreal, Quebec, from February 1 to 2 for the 2025 Davis Cup Qualifiers 1st Round. In the hunt for a place at the 2025 Davis Cup Final 8, Team Canada will face Hungary at IGA Stadium to determine which country advances to the Qualifiers 2nd Round in September. The losing nation will be relegated to World Group 1.
“There’s no better feeling than playing in Canada, representing your country, and having the entire crowd behind you,” said team captain Frank Dancevic. “We will be counting on the support of the fans in Montreal as we gear up for what we expect to be a hard-fought battle against a strong Hungarian team. While I couldn’t be prouder of our team for reaching the Davis Cup Final 8 for three years straight, our goal for 2025 is to match our performance in 2022, when we made history by being crowned world champions for the first time in Canadian history.”
Montreal will be staging a Davis Cup event for the second year running, having hosted Team Canada’s Qualifier tie last February against the Republic of Korea. Led by Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON), the Canadian team of Gabriel Diallo (Montreal, QC), Alexis Galarneau (Laval, QC), Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON), Liam Draxl (Newmarket, ON), and Vasek Pospisil (Vernon, BC) defeated the South Koreans by a score of 3-1. Success at home is a recurring theme for Team Canada, having won nine of their previous 10 ties played in the Great White North.
