U.S. Davis Cup Captain Bob Bryan announced that Ethan Quinn, Emilio Nava, Austin Krajicek, and Rajeev Ram have been selected to represent the United States in the Davis Cup Qualifying first round tie against Hungary.
The tie will take place February 7–8 on indoor clay at the Tatabányai Multifunkcionális Sportcsarnok in Tatabánya, Hungary, with matches starting on February 7 at 1:00 pm local time (7:00 am ET). The winner will advance to the second round of Davis Cup Qualifying, scheduled for late September.
This marks the first Davis Cup meeting between the United States and Hungary and the Davis Cup debuts for both Quinn and Nava, two rising Americans who posted strong results on clay in 2025.
Nava, 24, enjoyed one of the biggest ranking jumps of 2025, climbing 125 spots from world #213 at the end of 2024 to finish the season at a career-high world #88. He won four clay court Challenger titles in 2025, including three during a 19-match unbeaten streak, and broke into the ATP Top 100 on September 15, 2025.
Quinn, 21, continues his rapid rise after winning the 2023 NCAA Singles Championship with the bulldogs and earning ITA National Rookie of the Year honors. He captured his first ATP Challenger title in 2024, broke into the ATP Top 100, and reached the third round of Roland Garros in 2025. Quinn begins the season ranked #76, with a career high ranking of #64.
The team is anchored by veteran doubles specialists Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek. Ram, 41, has competed in 15 Davis Cup ties, owns a 12–3 doubles record, is a four-time Grand Slam doubles champion, and a former world No. 1. Krajicek, 35, has an 8–2 Davis Cup doubles record, all alongside Ram, and won the 2023 French Open doubles title, finishing that season as world #1.
