USTA Adds College Tennis Match To Davis Cup Weekend |

The USTA announced that it will spotlight a college tennis match as part of its College MatchDay series when BYU plays at Boise State men on Saturday, April 6, in Boise, Idaho.

The College MatchDay will be held in conjunction with the U.S. Davis Cup Team’s World Group Quarterfinal tie vs. Serbia April 5-7 at Boise State’s Taco Bell Arena. The Boise State vs. BYU men’s match will be held at the Boas Tennis Center on campus that Saturday at 9:30 a.m. local time, three hours before the 12:30 p.m. start time of the Davis Cup doubles match scheduled for that day at Taco Bell Arena.

“We’re thrilled to be able to highlight college tennis alongside a United States Davis Cup Team tie,” said Jeff Ryan, USTA Senior Director, Team Events. “Bringing College MatchDay to Boise is another great way to celebrate the game of tennis.”

“The dream of getting Davis Cup to Boise State was great. Now, to play BYU and have MatchDay in conjunction with Davis Cup made the dream that much better,” said Boise State coach Greg Patton. “It is going to be an unbelievable festival and celebration of college tennis, Davis Cup tennis and basically tennis in the team format.”

The USTA launched College MatchDay this year to highlight a number of premier men’s and women’s college tennis team matches, organizing activities and local outreach surrounding the host team’s campus. College MatchDay will feature a team match every week beginning in 2014.
