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. Sweden, 4-1, in Minneapolis). The United States-Great Britain rivalry is the oldest in Davis Cup history, dating back to the first competition in 1900, when the U.S. defeated Great Britain in Boston. The U.S. last faced Great Britain in the 1999 World Group first round in England and won that tie, 3-2, when current U.S. Davis Cup Captain Jim Courier rallied in the fifth and decisive match to defeat Greg Rusedski in the fifth set, 8-6. Courier also won a five-set match on the opening day, defeating Tim Henman in 4 hours, 12 minutes. The U.S. has won 32 Davis Cup titles (last title, 2007) and Great Britain has won nine (last title, 1936). The U.S. holds an 11-7 record against Great Britain in Davis Cup play, winning the last four ties. Great Britain’s last win against the U.S. came in 1935. The 1999 first round tie was the only meeting between the two nations under the current World Group format. Great Britain has played five World Group first round ties on clay (all of which were away) and has yet to win a first round tie on clay. World No. 4 Andy Murray has a 16-match singles winning streak in Davis Cup competition. Murray is 16-1 in Davis Cup singles play, with his only loss coming in his Davis Cup singles debut in the 2005 World Group Playoff against Switzerland, where Murray lost to current Top 10 player Stanislas Wawrinka. The U.S. is 110-17 all-time in Davis Cup ties played at home and has played in 78 different venues in 34 states. The U.S. Davis Cup team in 17-2 in the state of California and is undefeated in six matches in the San Diego area (2-0 in San Diego/LaJolla, 4-0 in Carlsbad). This will be the third consecutive home tie for the U.S. Davis Cup team after hosting the 2013 Davis Cup first round and quarterfinal in Jacksonville, Fla., and Boise, Idaho, respectively. The U.S. leads all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles and owns the longest uninterrupted run in the World Group, dating back to 1989. The U.S. holds a 213-67 all-time Davis Cup record and has a winning record against 35 of the 39 countries faced and a level record with one country. The U.S. is undefeated versus 21 countries and holds an active winning streak against 34 nations. Founded in 1900, Davis Cup is the world’s largest annual international men’s team competition with 123 nations competing in 2014. The winner of this match will play either Italy or Argentina in the quarterfinals, April 4-6. Should the U.S. defeat Great Britain, it will travel to Italy or Argentina.
