February 06, 2026

Veteran Tommy Paul and rookie Ethan Quinn will lead the U.S. into its Davis Cup Qualifying First Round tie this weekend vs. Hungary on indoor red clay in Tatabanya.

 

Paul, the world No. 22 and a veteran of 10 Davis Cup ties, takes to the indoor clay first on Saturday vs. No. 176 Zsombor Piros, beginning at 1 p.m. local time, 7 a.m. ET. Quinn, ranked No. 68 and playing in his first Davis Cup tie at 21 years old, matches up second against No. 46 Fabian Marozsan, a 26-year old playing in his 10th Davis Cup tie for Hungary.

Neither Paul nor Quinn have ever faced off against Marozsan or Piros before.

 

"I’m always excited to rep the U.S.," Paul said in a Friday press conference. "It means everything. I love playing Davis Cup. I love playing the Olympics. I love representing the flag. So always excited to play.

 

"Should be a great tie. We have a lot of respect for this team," added the American, who has never before played in Hungary. "That’s why have a great doubles team, a couple of young guys that are playing some great ball. We’ll have to play our best tennis."

 

The best-of-five-match tie continues on Sunday, beginning with the doubles that pits 2026 Australian Open doubles champion Christian Harrison and former doubles world No. 1 Austin Krajicek against Marozsan and Piros. The tie then concludes with the reverse singles matches—Paul against Marozsan and Quinn against Piros. World No. 82 Emilio Nava could also feature for the U.S.
