The U.S. hosts Great Britain and reigning Wimbledon champion Andy Murray in its first round matchup, Jan. 31 – Feb. 2. It will be the first time Davis Cup is played in an open air baseball stadium in the U.S. and the first time the U.S. Davis Cup team has hosted a tie on clay since the 1992 semifinals (U.S. def.
