Tennis’ Fed Cup will return to Hawaii in 2017 with a first-round match between the U.S. and Germany, the U.S. Tennis Association announced today.

The best-of-five match series will be played Feb. 11-12 at Royal Lahaina Resort on Maui, the USTA said.

Germany is expected to be led by 2016 US Open champion and world No. 1 Angelique Kerber.

The Fed Cup is the world’s largest annual international team competition in women’s sport, with approximately 100 nations taking part each year.

Last year Kailua-Kona hosted U.S. vs. Poland.

“We are proud to bring Fed Cup back to Hawaii after an extremely successful tie earlier this year here that brought sell-out crowds and had such a positive impact on the community,” USTA Chairman, CEO and President Katrina Adams said in a release. “Maui will be the perfect fit for us next year in our first-round matchup with Germany. Hawaii has such welcoming and vibrant tennis fans and the Royal Lahaina Resort is a world-class venue that will be an ideal host for the fans, players, and everyone involved. We look forward to Hawaii fans coming out again to cheer on the U.S. to victory.”

The winner will advance to play either the Czech Republic or Spain in the World Group Semifinals.

Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Nov. 18, at www.usta.com/fedcup.
