I’ve seen Davis Cup tickets for sale on other websites. Should I buy from these other sites?

 

 

There are many websites that advertise Davis Cup tickets. With the exception of the USTA’s Official Travel Partner for Davis Cup, Steve Furgal’s International Tennis Tours, these are broker sites and are not affiliated with the United States Tennis Association.

 

When you purchase tickets from these sites, you are taking a personal risk at which you have no recourse through the USTA. The USTA highly advises against purchasing tickets through these unauthorized sites.

 

 

I lost my tickets. What can I do?

 

Unfortunately, we are unable to replace lost tickets.

 

I did not receive my tickets. What can I do?

 

 

Please email daviscuptickets@usta.com if you requested to have your tickets mailed and did not receive them.

 

Is it guaranteed that I will see certain players?

 

 

No. While players may announce their intentions of playing the event, teams will not be officially announced until 10 days prior to the start of the tie. The USTA has no control over which players will play for either team as this is determined by the respective captain of each team.

 

 

This is my first Davis Cup tie. What is the format for the event?

 

 

Davis Cup play consists of five matches played over three days: two singles matches on Friday, one doubles match on Saturday and two singles matches on Sunday. These five collective matches are called a “tie.” The first country to win three matches wins the tie. Match scoring is best-of-five tiebreak sets. As per Davis Cup rules, Sunday’s schedule may be adjusted once a result has been determined.

 

 

What time do the matches begin, and what time will they end?

 

 

Match start times will be confirmed soon. The end time will vary depending on how long each match lasts. Gates will open one hour prior to the start time each day.

 

 

Am I allowed to leave the matches and come back later that same day? Can I come to the first match and allow someone else to return for the second match on the same day?

 

 

No. Re-admittance is not allowed.
