It's big dreams for a kid, and I don't think I ever thought I'd ever be in the vicinity of that. Now selfishly we're here. Chance to get three out of four, it's exciting.

The U.S. defeated Sweden, 4-1, in the 1992 semifinals when Stefan Edberg was the top-ranked player in the world. Edberg lost to Andre Agassi on the opening day to give the U.S. a 2-0 lead then team with Anders Jarryd in doubles, losing the deciding match to John McEnroe and Pete Sampras in five sets.

NO. 1 AND NO. 2 SINGLES AND DOUBLES PLAYERS ON SAME TEAM The world’s No. 1 and No. 2 singles and doubles players have only competed on the same Davis Cup team twice since the ATP rankings began in 1974, both on U.S. squads.

At the 2006 World Group First Round vs. Romania in La Jolla, Calif., four sets of brothers were on hand to represent the U.S. and support the team. Twins Bob and Mike Bryan won the doubles point when Victor Hanescu was forced to retire with a rib injury after the first set. Captain Patrick McEnroe and his brother, John, who came down from the OLN broadcasters booth, amused the crowd with an exhibition match vs. the Bryans following the shortened doubles rubber. Additionally, both Andy Roddick’s brother, John, and James Blake’s brother, Thomas, were in La Jolla to cheer on the team.

U.S. DAVIS CUP CAPTAIN JIM COURIER TO BRING ANDY RODDICK, SAM QUERREY, JOHN ISNER AND BOB AND MIKE BRYAN TO FACE CHILE IN 2011 DAVIS CUP BY BNP PARIBAS FIRST ROUND

Fifth Meeting between U.S. and Chile in Davis Cup will take place Outdoors on Clay at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile, March 4-6

Courier to Make Debut as U.S. Davis Cup Captain; Roddick to Play in First Davis Cup Tie since March 2009

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., February 17, 2011 -- The USTA and U.S. Davis Cup Captain Jim Courier announced today that world No. 8 Andy Roddick, No. 18 Sam Querrey, No. 24 John Isner, and the world’s top-ranked doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan will travel to Chile to represent the United States in the 2011 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas first round match against Chile, March 4-6, on an outdoor clay court at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile. An initial four-man roster will be submitted to the International Tennis Federation next week, but Courier can change as many as two players when the official lineup is submitted one hour before the draw ceremony on Thursday, March 3. Roddick, who is second all-time in U.S. Davis Cup history with 31 career singles wins, returns to the U.S. Davis Cup Team for the first time since the 2009 first round. "All of the U.S. players are committed to the goal of winning the Davis Cup and our first step is to go to battle in Santiago," said Jim Courier, who was named the 40th U.S. Davis Cup Captain in October. "We expect a tough weekend of matches with our Chilean counterparts and look forward to the challenge." Tennis Channel will provide live daily coverage of the event. The United States holds a 4-0 record over Chile in Davis Cup competition. The two nations last met in the 2006 World Group Quarterfinal in Rancho Mirage, Calif., where the U.S. won 3-2 behind two singles victories by Roddick and a doubles victory by the Bryans. Last year, the U.S. lost in the first round to eventual champion Serbia but retained its World Group status by defeating Colombia in the World Group Playoffs in Bogota. The United States holds a 209-64 all-time Davis Cup record and owns the longest uninterrupted run in the World Group, dating back to 1989. Chile is playing in the World Group for the fourth straight year. They defeated Israel 4-1 in last year’s first round before losing to the Czech Republic 4-1 in the quarterfinal. Both ties were at home. The U.S. vs. Chile winner will face either Spain or Belgium in the quarterfinals, July 8-10. If the United States beats Chile, they will be guaranteed to host the quarterfinal. The opening day of play in the best-of-five match series features each country's No. 1 singles player against the No. 2 player from the opposing country. The pivotal doubles match is played Saturday, followed by Sunday’s “reverse singles,” starting with each country’s No. 1 player squaring off followed by the No. 2 players in the fifth and final match. Roddick, 28, holds a 31-11 record in Davis Cup play (all singles matches) and is second all-time with most U.S. Davis Cup singles victories, behind John McEnroe’s 41. He is also second all-time in most consecutive years played on the U.S. Davis Cup Team, competing for nine years from 2001-09 (tied with Todd Martin and behind McEnroe, who competed for 11 consecutive years). In 2007, Roddick led the U.S. to its first Davis Cup title since 1995 when they defeated Russia in the final. He has competed in 23 total ties (fifth all-time among U.S. players) and has played in 42 total Davis Cup matches for the U.S. (fourth all-time). He has been the No. 1 player for the U.S. in all but two appearances – his debut at the 2001 Davis Cup first round at Switzerland and the 2002 Davis Cup first round win over the Slovak Republic (behind Pete Sampras) in Oklahoma City.

Querrey, 23, is 1-4 in Davis Cup singles play and made his debut against then world No. 1 Rafael Nadal on clay in Madrid in the 2008 World Group Semifinal, losing in four sets. Querrey won four ATP World Tour singles titles last year on three different surfaces, including a successful title defense at the Olympus US Open Series event in Los Angeles. Querrey also won two doubles titles last year—one with Isner and one with Mardy Fish. He was also a member of the U.S. Olympic tennis team in 2008. Isner, 25, made his Davis Cup debut last year in the World Group First Round in Serbia where he became the first U.S. player to compete in three live rubbers in the same tie since James Blake in the 2003 first round. He also played in the World Group Playoff in Bogota. At 6-foot-9, Isner is the tallest player in U.S. Davis Cup history. He captured his first career ATP World Tour title in Auckland, New Zealand, in January 2010. He also competed in the longest tennis match in history at Wimbledon, defeating Nicolas Mahut, 70-68, in the fifth set of a first round match that lasted more than eleven hours. Isner turned professional after an outstanding four-year career at the University of Georgia, leading the Bulldogs to the 2007 NCAA team title as a senior. Bob Bryan, 32, half of the world’s top-ranked doubles team, holds a 17-2 overall record in Davis Cup doubles and a 16-2 record with twin brother, Mike. He is also 4-2 in singles (all dead rubbers). The Bryans’ win at the 2009 Davis Cup first round versus Switzerland put them first all-time in U.S. Davis Cup history with 15 doubles wins as a team and they are the only brothers to pair in victory for the U.S. Bob played with Isner in the 2010 World Group First Round in Serbia after brother Mike came down with food poisoning. In July 2010, Bob and Mike broke the all-time Open era record of 62 team doubles titles after winning the Olympus US Open Series event in Los Angeles. They also captured the 2010 US Open doubles title and the 2011 Australian Open doubles title to extend the record to 68 titles together. Mike Bryan, 32, played in 19 consecutive doubles match for the U.S. Davis Cup Team since he and twin brother, Bob, joined the team in September 2003 until suffering from food poisoning before the 2010 World Group First Round in Serbia. Mike holds a 17-2 record in Davis Cup doubles and is 16- 2 record with Bob (Mike partnered Mardy Fish in the 2008 semifinal against Spain). The Bryan brothers currently share the No. 1 doubles ranking and finished five of the past six years as the top- ranked doubles team in the world. Founded in 1900, Davis Cup is the world’s largest annual international men’s team competition with 125 nations competing this year. The U.S. leads all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles.

As a follow-up, I was wondering if advantage of the fact that they're excited about it, you got a chance to watch that tie a few years and I'm certainly pleased because there were ago that was here at Rancho Mirage and just times in my Davis Cup career where not all players kind of your thought about the Chilean fans were on the same page as far as committing to it that brought a lot of energy to that tie. and sacrificing for it. And let's be honest, the way CAPTAIN COURIER: Yeah, I did get a that Davis Cup is scheduled, it is a sacrifice for the chance to watch that on TV. I wasn't there in players, and I think we have to recognize that, and person. But I have experience playing in Chile. I certainly get it as captain. I've played down there a few times in my career It was great to be down in Memphis with and I've played Davis Cup in Brazil, and I'm pretty the three guys, the three singles guys that we familiar with the kind of energy and excitement that named today as well as Mardy Fish, who's going to their fans will bring, and we'll be ready for that. be a big part of our team going forward. I have to That's one of the best things about playing say it's disappointing that Mardy is suffering from Davis Cup is getting a chance to go into an away this thyroid issue and is just physically not at a tie situation and face all of the elements and face place where we're comfortable having him play a that enthusiasm and energy and their passion and five-set match in singles at this stage, and that's a try and use that as energy for yourself and come real shame, because if you look at what Mardy away with a win. It's going to be -- there's no doubt achieved on behalf of the team in keeping us in the it's going to be loud. There's no doubt it's going to World Group last year in Colombia, he loves it and be boisterous, and we expect it, and we're looking he deserves to be a part of it, and he will be.

Do you think that he the Davis Cup guys, I established very early with has the hunger that he had before with the them that I wanted us to look at this year as a hiatus that he took, now he's coming back with six-man team, and Mardy is very much a part of you? that, so I don't want to leave him out of this CAPTAIN COURIER: Well, I think that conversation today. Andy is definitely excited about Davis Cup. I think I had a great time last week being down in Andy has always been passionate about it, and he Memphis for a couple of days and getting to watch was very straightforward with Patrick last year that all the guy play and spend time with them and their it just wasn't going to work based on how he was coaches and just become a little closer to what feeling and what he was looking to achieve.

I don't know if it comes down to at this stage international population of tennis players, the growth there. It could be. Australia is a big country, but it's not a largely populated country. If it's a pure numbers game, they're certainly at a deficit compared to some other areas of the world that can produce a lot of players.

JIM COURIER NAMED U.S. DAVIS CUP CAPTAIN

Two-Time Davis Cup Champion and Former World No. 1 Signs Multi-year Agreement to Lead United States Davis Cup Effort

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., October 27, 2010 -- The USTA announced today that Jim Courier has been named U.S. Davis Cup Captain. Courier signed a multi-year agreement and succeeds Patrick McEnroe, who ended his 10-year tenure as U.S. Davis Cup Captain in September. Courier will make his debut as captain when the United States faces Chile in March during at the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group First Round. Courier, a four-time Grand Slam champion and former World No. 1, was a member of Davis Cup title-winning teams in 1992 and 1995 and compiled a 17- 10 career record in Davis Cup competition. “Jim will continue to bring class and character to the role of U.S. Davis Cup Captain along with an outstanding pedigree in Davis Cup competition,” said Lucy S. Garvin, Chairman of the Board and President, USTA. “We will see that same fighting spirit every time the U.S. competes and a new generation of U.S. Davis Cup players will have an opportunity to become better competitors under his leadership. “We had several strong candidates who were interested in becoming U.S. Davis Cup Captain, all of whom would have been very capable in the role,” said Jim Curley, Chief Professional Tournaments Officer, USTA. “In the end, Jim’s Davis Cup experience and wealth of knowledge as a former Grand Slam champion stood out. He is the ideal candidate to replace Patrick, the longest-tenured captain in U.S. Davis Cup history.” In addition to helping lead the U.S. to two Davis Cup titles, including in 1992 when Courier clinched the title against Switzerland, the U.S. Davis Cup team was 13-1 when Courier competed for the team. He holds the U.S. Davis Cup record for most five-set singles victories with five and for most victories in fifth-and-decisive matches with three. Courier played in 26 singles matches, which is ninth all-time in U.S. Davis Cup history. Courier coached the U.S. Davis Cup team for five ties from 2001-03 under McEnroe. Founded in 1900, the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas is the world’s largest annual international men’s team competition with 125 nations competing this year. The U.S. leads all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles. Wilson is the official ball of the U.S. Davis Cup team.
