Davis Cup ties lead the day as Guadalajara plays semi-finals

Every tournament on court today, who is playing, and where to watch.

The Davis Cup is the main business of the day. Ties are being played across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, with play running from morning in the United States through to the evening. Our picks single out matches from the Czechia v United States, Canada v France, Netherlands v Colombia and Austria v Belgium ties.

Guadalajara is the only event that has reached its closing stages, with the WTA semi-finals on the card. Elsewhere the WTA is at the front end of its week: Seoul, Singapore and Sao Paulo are all in qualifying, so their main draws are still being settled.

Coverage, in short. In the United States, Tennis Channel has the Davis Cup and the WTA events, with streaming on the Tennis Channel app. In the UK, Sky Sports Tennis carries the WTA cards through NOW and Sky Go, while Davis Cup coverage there is not confirmed in our listings, so the ITF's where-to-watch page is the place to check. In Australia, beIN SPORTS holds both, with Stan Sport and beIN SPORTS CONNECT streaming. In Canada, TSN carries selected WTA events, with TSN+ and WTA TV filling the gaps, and Davis Cup coverage likewise unconfirmed. Lower down the card, the Challenger Tour streams free on Challenger TV, and WTA Unlocked does the same for the WTA's smaller events.

Challenger TV — the full ATP Challenger Tour, live and on demandFree on ATPTour.com, with a companion YouTube channel launched in 2026.
WTA Unlocked — WTA 125 tournamentsFree, usually two courts per event.

The Davis Cup carries most of the day, with the WTA further back in its week and only Guadalajara close to a trophy. The ties run right across the clock, so there is usually play somewhere to find. The model reads the card as a mix: a couple of near-even calls and a couple of clear leans, which is about what a day like this offers.

Channels are listed from KickServe's curated rights map (updated 2026-07-25) and can change at short notice — always check your local listings. Start times are earliest-possible: a match begins when the previous one on that court finishes. Win probabilities come from our rating model and are context, not betting advice.
