Beaverton to Host Davis Cup Quarterfinal

It's been nine years since the United States David Cup team played in Oregon.

it was the 2007 finals and the U.S. beat Russia to take home the top prize.

That was at the Portland Memorial Coliseum.

They will be back in July - this time at the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Tennis Center in Beaverton - to play Croatia.

"Portland holds a special place in U.S. Davis Cup history, when we won the title here in 2007," said USTA Chairman, CEO and President Katrina Adams.

"We are thrilled to bring world-class tennis back to the area with Beaverton as our host and to help grow the game in this community. We look forward to fans filling the stands and coming out to cheer on Team USA as we try to move one step closer to the Davis Cup trophy once again."

The move still has to be approved by the International Tennis Federation.

The USTA and Oregon Sports Authority will build a 6,000-seat stadium around the main court.

The matches are scheduled to be held July 15-17. The winner moves on to the World Group semifinals in September.
