View Full Version : Davis Cup 2026
Team GB have been drawn away to Norway in the first round of qualifiers in February.
Venue confirmed as the Nadderud Arena near Oslo, day tickets a pricey ?44. Dates yet to be confirmed.
Dates are 5th and 6th of February. Starting at 5pm GMT on the Thursday and 3pm on the Friday.
The teams for the tie have been named, provisionally at least.
Jack Draper, Cam Norrie, Jake Fearnley, Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool for Team GB,
and
Casper Ruud, Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, Viktor Durasovic, Andreja Petrovic and Lukas Hellum-Lilleengen will represent Norway.
The DC website has the BBC and Tennis Channel showing it.
Caitlin from the BBC couldn't confirm if the BBC will be showing it or not.
According to the Red Button schedule, they'll be showing the winter Olympics instead of our tie.
The tennis channel is free in lots of places now.
Maybe the BBC will show on iplayer even if not on the red button.
It's a shame it is the same time as the Winter Olympics.
The TNT Channel will be showing it, I've read. If the BBC decide to show it, it'll probably be on their website. The Tennis Channel are also, allegedly, showing it.
The LTA have confirmed that it will be shown on the BBC Sport website, the iPlayer and the Tennis Channel.
Brilliant about it being shown on the BBC's website.
That's good, as I'm supposed to be going out which I could have cancelled if it had been during sometime late morning or early afternoon.
Not a fan of late starts, especially as I have a very early flight home on Saturday morning!

Casper Ruud will not be in the Norwegian team; he's prioritizing time with wife and newborn daughter.
(taken from Twitter around 12noon, 4/2/26)
Good news for GB, bad news for the tie.
Good evening from Oslo! Jack off to a flyer.
An easy first set win for Jack.
Thansai Kokkinakis has pulled out of the Aussie DC team with an injury and has been replaced by Jason Kubler.
And an easy second set too. Jack wins 6-2 6-2.
Any Norwegian translators?
Cameron Norrie wins 6 - 4, 6 - 4. Budkov Kjaer played way above his ranking.
4pm local start tomorrow, 3pm GMT.

Although NBK is ranked 133 it's slightly false as he's definitely on the way up, this time last last year he was in the 500's and he played in the Next Gen Finals last year so he's got potential.
Cam was the smarter match player.

Certainly it was a good start,keep going :)
Budkov Kjaer and Durasovic are playing way above their doubles rankings. 5 - 5 in the third set.
Cash and Glasspool win the match and the tie, though Cash and Glasspool aren't sure if it was a 7 point tie break or a 10 point tie break.
The BBC have tuned into that Norwegian channel again.
Jacob Fearnley vs Nicolai Budkov Kjaer in the dead rubber.

Australia not doing too well on the clay in Ecuador (some rain there too) as Ecuador are 2-0 after the first singles matches. The winning team I believe will play GB in the next round in September.
You're correct, exislander. I know we played them at Wimbledon 26 years ago and lost. I think we might have played them since then.
The last time we played them was in Ecuador, so if the same rule still applies we will have a home tie.
Australia have just lost the doubles match.

looking at the players who took part in this week-ends ties, it's clear that the DC doesn't hold the same attraction as it once did, thanks no doubt to the constant tinkering with formats, match lengths etc.
Glad to see GB will have a home tie in the next round, where do we play our home matches now, is it Manchester ?
Early rumours are a return to the Copper Box.
I doubt if it'll be Manchester, as the last time we went there, it got reported they were looking at it going elsewhere.

Where is the Copper Box?
Olympic Park in London.
I think it was a BJK Cup tie i was there for before.

no reason for it to go back to Glasgow now, I dare say London suits for so many people, but there are so many venues it could be held in around the country.

I was also at Wimbledon for the Davis Cup tie when Ecuador beat GBR 3-2 in 2000.
The tie was played on the old Court One which was attached to the side of Centre Court.
If its going to be in London, I might be going.
