Two-time Grand Slam® singles champion, current world No. 4 and Delray Beach native Coco Gauff will compete for the U.S. Billie Jean King Cup Team at the Delray Beach Tennis Center, November 21-22, as it takes on Hungary in a pivotal Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Playoff competition.

The Playoff is a best-of-five match series between the best women’s tennis players from the U.S. and Hungary played over Saturday and Sunday, with the winner returning to the Qualifying pool and having the chance to compete for the BJK Cup championship in 2027. Billie Jean King Cup is the World Cup of Women’s Tennis.

Both the USA and Hungary will name as many as five players to their competing rosters. The full team nominations will be announced on Oct. 21. The U.S. is captained by International Tennis Hall of Famer and U.S. Billie Jean Cup legend Lindsay Davenport, who captained the American side to the BJK Cup final in 2025.

Matches will start at 1:30 p.m. ET both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s schedule will feature two singles matches between each country’s top two nominated players. Sunday’s schedule will feature a doubles match, then two more singles matches to decide the tie. The first nation between the USA and Hungary to win three out of those five matches wins the Playoff, with an amended Sunday schedule possible if either nation clinches victory in the third or fourth match of the weekend.
