The Davis Cup is the most important men’s team tennis event in the world. The tournament was first played in 1900 between the United States and Great Britain. It was the brainchild of the Harvard tennis team and Dwight F. Davis, who commissioned the creation of the actual trophy, and would eventually lend his name to the tournament itself. The Davis Cup is now run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is comprised of more than 100 nations. Matches or ties are played in the home country of one or the other opponents drawn by lot. Spectators at the Davis Cup get the unique experience of watching some of the world’s brightest tennis stars represent their countries in a team environment.
There are some important facts about the competition. Serbia and USA have never previously met and both teams will be harbouring hopes of progressing to the quarterfinals. Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick are their respective country’s top players and, if they both play, will face each other in the opening singles rubber on day three.
Also, Croatia and Ecuador will be facing each other for the first time. Croatia, the 2005 champion, will go into the tie as favourite. Ecuador, meanwhile, will be making its first appearance in the World Group since 2001. Nicolas Lapentti was his nation’s hero in the play-off win over Brazil in September.
Here we have some important information about the matchups. As we can see there are lots of little details that will make this competition a really interesting experience.
