IRENE COUNTRY CLUB TO HOST RENAULT SA TEAM'S NEXT DAVIS CUP TIE
The Renault South Africa team will face Montenegro at Irene Country Club in Pretoria between 7-8 February 2026 in the national side's next Davis Cup tie, with the venue and dates having been officially confirmed.
It will be the first Davis Cup tie to be played at Irene Country Club since the SA team narrowly fell in a 3-2 defeat to Israel in a Euro/Africa Group I contest in February 2018.
The draw for the World Group II playoffs had already been conducted in September, with Renault South Africa (ranked 60th) drawn to meet Montenegro (85th) on home soil.
In their last tie, played at Groenkloof Tennis Club in Pretoria in September, the Renault SA squad lost 4-1 against Morocco, and they need to beat Montenegro in order to retain their place in World Group II.
Montenegro, meanwhile, won four of their five ties at the Group III Europe tournament in North Macedonia in June, qualifying for the World Group II playoffs.
"Irene Country Club has hosted several Davis Cup ties in the past, and we are confident the venue will again assist us in putting on a memorable event between Renault South Africa and Montenegro," said Tennis South Africa General Manager Anthony Moruthane.
"The national team have become accustomed to playing at our world-class venues in Pretoria in recent years, and we again hope that the altitude of the capital city will assist the players in putting on a good showing against Montenegro in this hard-court tie. We call on tennis fans and the wider community to come out in full force, fill the stands, and show their support for Team Renault South Africa."
