Sydney will host Australia's first Davis Cup home tie in more than three years when Alex de Minaur spearheads a qualifying showdown with Belgium in September.

Ranked No.2 in the world, Australia will chase a fourth straight berth in the Davis Cup Final 8, this year being staged in Bologna in November, when they host the Europeans at de Minaur's beloved Ken Rosewall Arena on September 13-14.

The tie will be played on hard court, with two singles matches on the Saturday, followed by doubles and reverse singles on Sunday.

In February, Australia defeated Sweden 3-1 to reach the qualifying stage.

"I'm looking forward to playing in Sydney, it's no secret Ken Rosewall Arena is my favourite court," de Minaur said.

"I have some amazing memories competing there, and to be back in Australia in September is going to be a lot of fun.

"We haven't played Davis Cup at home since 2022, so it means a lot. We are hungry as ever to qualify again for the finals and really give it everything."
