The Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham in Alabama will play host to the first round match between the USA and Switzerland on 3rd and 5th February 2017.

The US venue previously hosted a Davis Cup first round tie between the USA and Switzerland in 2009. The US team formed by Mike and Bob Bryan, Andy Roddick and James Blake beat a Swiss team featuring Stan Wawrinka.

The US team has a 3-1 edge over Switzerland, including a 2-0 record at home. The USA and Switzerland last met in 2012 in the first round of the World Group on an indoor red clay court in Fribourg.

In 1992 the USA and Switzerland contested the Davis Cup Final in  Forth Worth, Texas. A US team featuring André Agassi, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras and Jim Courier won their 30th Davis Cup title and their second in three years.
