U.S. falls to Czechia in 2025 Davis Cup Second Round Qualifier

Second Round 2025

First Round 2025

U.S. Will Not Advance to Final 8 with Loss to Czechia in Delray

While the players representing the stars and stripes—world No. 5 Taylor Fritz, No. 29 Frances Tiafoe, No. 63 Reilly Opelka, and former doubles No. 1s Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram—did their best, it wasn't enough to defeat the Czech team brimming with top talent, led by No. 16 Jiri Lehecka, who notched two of Czechia's points to help them win the tie, 3-2.

Captain Bob Bryan had hoped to extend the U.S. Davis Cup and Billie Jean King teams' record to 6-0 in Delray Beach en route to the Final 8, but the newly-inducted member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame was incredibly proud of the grit and tenacity his players showed, as well as their spirit and support for one another.

The U.S. last won the Davis Cup in 2007 when the team of Andy Roddick, James Blake, Mike Bryan and Bob Bryan, with captain Patrick McEnroe, beat Russia in a 4-1 final.
