Sponsors Confirmed for Davis Cup Tie
|
|
The Bermuda Lawn Tennis Association (BLTA) is proud to confirm that official approval has been granted for Bermuda to host its 2026 Davis Cup
World Group II tie against Mexico, marking the historic return of Davis Cup competition to local shores after three decades.
Following the initial announcement earlier this year celebrating Bermuda’s qualification, final venue and event approvals mean the island is officially set to host Mexico at the W.E.R. Joell Tennis Stadium from September 19th - 20th, 2026. The milestone event marks 30 years since Bermuda last hosted a Davis Cup tie, bringing World Tennis-sanctioned international team tennis back to the island on a scale not seen in a generation.
Governed by World Tennis (formerly the International Tennis Federation), the Davis Cup is the world’s premier international men’s team tennis competition. Staging this tie locally offers a rare opportunity to showcase Bermuda’s athletic talent, world-class hospitality, and historic sporting legacy before an international audience.
The return of this world-class event is made possible through the crucial backing of key corporate and government stakeholders. Title Sponsor HSBC Bank Bermuda Ltd., the Government of Bermuda, and the Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) have stepped forward as the three core partners dedicated to driving the success of the event.
“Welcoming the Davis Cup back to Bermuda after 30 years is a monumental moment for our sporting community,” said Michael Wolfe, President of the Bermuda Lawn Tennis Association.
“Securing official approval to proceed allows us to deliver a top-tier international event. We are immensely grateful to HSBC Bermuda, the Government, and the BTA for their partnership in making this long-awaited return a reality.”
Expressing strong government commitment to the historic occasion, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport,Owen Darrell, stated: "The Government of Bermuda is proud to support the Bermuda Lawn Tennis Association as it hosts this historic 2026 Davis Cup campaign. This event is an opportunity to showcase Bermuda on the international stage, celebrate the dedication of our athletes, and inspire the next generation through sport. We wish Team Bermuda every success as they represent our island with pride."
Demonstrating headline partnership and community investment, Tanya Bule, Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking at HSBC Bermuda added: “HSBC Bank Bermuda is delighted to support Bermuda Tennis and their 2026 Davis Cup campaign, as they make history taking on Mexico in the next round at the National Tennis Stadium this September.
“The steady progress this squad has made through recent campaigns, and the advancement of youth tennis programmes across Bermuda, is reflected in this fantastic achievement. The team has shown great fortitude and resilience to reach this stage of the campaign, and we are excited to stand beside them as they take on a nation as large as Mexico.
“We encourage all of Bermuda to come out in support of the National Team and share in the pride we can all feel in seeing Bermuda tennis reach these elite levels.”
Highlighting the sports tourism and economic impact, Michael DeCouto, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at the Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA), commented: “The return of Davis Cup tennis to Bermuda is a milestone not only for our sporting community, but for the island as a whole. Tennis has long been part of Bermuda’s story, and welcoming an official Davis Cup tie back to our shores for the first time in nearly 30 years reflects both our proud heritage in the sport and our ability to host world-class international events.”
“The Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) is proud to support the Bermuda Lawn Tennis Association in bringing this prestigious competition to the island.”

Terceira's Florida Form Continues With Unfinished Final
|
Lee Terceira's impressive run of form in Florida continued as the Bermudian reached the final of the Blue & Green SWFL Classic in Fort Myers, a USTA Level 6 tournament, before adverse weather brought the championship match to an untimely end.
Seeded second for the tournament, Terceira received a first-round bye before producing a series of commanding performances.
She dropped just one game en route to the final, dismantling Dani Betlee 6-0, 6-0 in the quarter-finals before cruising through her semi-final with a 6-1, 6-0 victory.
Terceira's performances reflected the progress she has made during a three-week training block in Florida, where she has also spent time training alongside Bermuda's Davis Cup squad. The intensive preparation has translated into confident and consistent tennis on court.
The final pitted Terceira against 12-year-old British player Anna Korynska, who, like the Bermudian, had travelled to Florida for an extended stay at a tennis academy in Naples.
The pair produced a high-quality contest before the weather intervened. After repeated lightning delays and heavy rain had already pushed back the day's schedule, worsening conditions eventually forced officials to abandon the match.
Terceira had taken control by winning the opening set 6-4, but trailed 2-1 in the second when play was halted. With Korynska and her family due to leave Fort Myers the following day, the final could not be rescheduled, leaving the tournament without a completed championship match.
Despite the anticlimactic ending, Terceira's latest deep run continues an excellent spell in Florida. Strong results across her last three tournaments have significantly boosted her USTA ranking, earning her entry into higher-level Level 5 events as she continues her development.

Tennis Duo Claim Titles Following Florida Training Camp
|
Bermudian tennis enjoyed a lucrative week in Florida as Trey Mallory and Lee Terceira both stormed to tournament victories following an intensive week-long training camp with coach Jhonny Berrido.
Mallory sealed top spot by winning the Battle of Boca wildcard tournament, providing a major boost ahead of his upcoming regional assignments. Meanwhile, compatriot Terceira capped off a dominant trip by securing victory in a separate USTA Tournament in Boca, Florida.
The success came as part of a wider training squad in Florida, which also included Tariq Simons and Daniel Phillips.
Simons produced a solid run before bowing out in the quarter-finals of the Battle of Boca event, while Phillips focused solely on the training regimen.
The squad now shifts focus to an action-packed upcoming schedule:
CAC Games Bound: Both Mallory and Phillips have departed Florida to represent Bermuda at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games.
On the Ranch: Simons and Terceira remain in Florida for a second week of intensive preparation at the tennis ranch alongside coach Berrido.
The ongoing camp holds significant long-term stakes for both remaining players. Simons is aiming to sharpen his game ahead of September, where he is pushing to secure a spot on the Bermuda Davis Cup team for their high-profile home tie against Mexico.
For Terceira, the Florida swing forms a key pillar in her long-term development as she continues her ambition to become Bermuda’s top-ranked player in the years ahead.

Mallory Battles to Claim Florida Title & Book Paraguay Spot
|
Tennis prospect Trey Mallory has secured a career-defining breakthrough after a grueling, three-set victory in the final of the Battle of Boca wildcard tournament in Florida.
The result will get coverage from the daily paper now, they have watched regular coverage, and now they will show interest because we are reporting Mallory won!
The 24-year-old third seed showed immense resilience to bounce back from a mid-match slump, defeating American Avner Wong via a tense, third-set tie-breaker to capture the title.
The victory guarantees Mallory a highly coveted main draw wildcard spot at the upcoming ITF M15K ATC Open (Men's Open) in Asunción, Paraguay. The triumph will also provide the perfect springboard for the Bermudian, who will head directly to the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games full of momentum.
Mallory started the final on the front foot, breaking his American opponent early to claim a hard-fought first set 6-4.
However, Wong—who had reached the final after a grueling three-set semi-final of his own—roared back into contention. The American dominated the second set from the baseline, capitalising on a string of unforced errors from the Bermudian to take it 6-1 and level the match.
With everything on the line, Mallory dug deep in the decisive match tie-breaker. Regrouping quickly, the 24-year-old rediscovered the clinical baseline form that saw him sweep aside Argentina’s Balthazar Orsanic in the semi-finals. Mallory kept his composure under immense pressure, pulling away to take the tie-breaker 10-5 and book his ticket to Paraguay.

Mallory One Win Away From Career-Defining World Cup Spot
|

The 24-year-old third seed carried his blistering form onto the outdoor hardcourts, delivering a clinical baseline performance to dispatch Argentina’s Balthazar Orsanic in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.
The stakes could not be higher for the Bermudian. Standing at the top of the podium in Florida will guarantee a direct, coveted main draw wildcard spot at the upcoming Men's Open ITF M15K ATC Open in Asunción, Paraguay.
To claim the ultimate prize, Mallory will have to get past American Avner Wong in a highly anticipated final showdown.
Wong was forced to take the scenic route in his semi-final clash, showing immense physical resilience to outlast fellow American Daniil Berezin in a grueling three-set battle, eventually progressing 7-6, 2-6, 10-5.
With Wong coming off a demanding match and Mallory clicking into peak form at the perfect moment, the Bermudian holds a golden opportunity to punch his ticket to the South American professional circuit.
