2025 BNP Paribas World Team Cup team announced

April 09, 2025

Twelve players will represent the United States at the 2025 BNP Paribas World Team Cup. The Americans will look to recapture the gold in the junior division and place in the men's and quad divisions after missing the podium last year. The nation’s top wheelchair tennis players will compete against participants from around the globe, May 6-11, at the Ali Bey Club Manavgat, Antalya, Turkey. 

 

The World Team Cup is the ITF’s flagship wheelchair tennis event, the equivalent of the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup. The inaugural event was held in California in 1985 involving six men’s teams. The women’s competition began the following year, with quad and junior events introduced in 1998 and 2000, respectively. The event has experienced continued growth since.

Forty-four teams from 15 countries are set to contest the 2025 BNP Paribas World Team Cup World Group. American teams will compete in three separate divisions: quad (8 nations), men’s (16 nations) and junior (8 nations). The men’s, quad and junior events all start in a round-robin group format before the top nations in each round-robin group go forward to the knockout stages to decide the medals and final positions.
