NASHVILLE (AP) — The Davis Cup quarterfinal between the United States and Belgium will take place April 6-8 at Belmont University in Nashville.

Belmont's Curb Event Center was announced as the Davis Cup quarterfinal site Thursday.

The best-of-5 series is scheduled to include two singles matches April 6, a doubles match April 7 and two singles matches April 8.

U.S. captain Jim Courier will select the U.S. team no less than 10 days before the event.

The U.S. reached the quarterfinals with a 3-1 victory at Serbia two weeks ago. Belgium advanced by defeating Hungary 3-2.

The U.S. team that faced Serbia included Sam Querrey, John Isner, Ryan Harrison and Steve Johnson.
