TEAM USA TO TRAVEL TO SPLIT, CROATIA, FOR DAVIS CUP SF
Team USA’s Davis Cup squad will head to Znjan Beach in Split, Croatia, in September as it looks to reach its first final in more than a decade.
The Croatian Tennis Federation today announced the semifinal tie will be played on an outdoor 6,000-seat clay court in the nation’s second-largest city, located on the shore of the Adriatic Sea.
The best-of-five contest will be played Sept. 14-16, the weekend after the US Open.
Croatia holds a 4-0 record over the U.S. in Davis Cup competition. Croatia is the only country that the U.S. has a winless record against. The two countries last faced off in the 2016 World Group quarterfinal in Portland, Ore, with Croatia winning the tie, 3-2, after trailing 0-2 after the first day of play. The two nations also met in 2003 in Zagreb, in 2005 in Los Angeles, and in 2009 in Porec.
The U.S. advanced to this year’s semifinal by sweeping Belgium, 4-0, in April’s quarterfinal at Belmont University’s Curb Event Center in Nashville, Tenn. Croatia defeated Kazakhstan, 3-1, in Varazdin, Croatia, to reach the semifinal.
The U.S. is competing in its first Davis Cup semifinal since 2012, when a team featuring John Isner, Sam Querrey, and the Bryan brothers fell, 3-1, to Spain in Gijon. The U.S. last won the Davis Cup title in 2007 over Russia.
