Paul and Harrison join captain Bob Bryan’s squad that includes  No. 68 Ethan Quinn, No. 82 Emilio Nava and doubles No. 52 Austin Krajicek.

Paul joins the team for his 11th Davis Cup tie, while Harrison, who partnered Coco Gauff in a standout United Cup performance last month, replaces Rajeev Ram in his debut Davis Cup nomination. This weekend’s matches will be played on an indoor clay court at the Tatabányai Multifunkcionális Sportcsarnok. 

Hungarian Captain Kornel Bardoczky have nominated world No. 46 Fabian Marozsan, who owns a career win over Carlos Alcaraz, No. 176 Zsombor Piros, No. 533 Peter Fajta, No. 622 Mate Valkusz and No. 781 Matyas Fuele.

This First Round Qualifying tie is a best-of-five match series that will begin with two singles matches on Saturday, February 7, starting at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET), then continue with a doubles match and two more singles matches on Sunday, February 8, beginning at 11 a.m. local time (5 a.m. ET).

The first nation between the USA and Hungary to win three out of those five matches wins the First Round Qualifier and will advance to the Second Round of Qualifying in late September. Tennis Channel will feature coverage in the U.S.
