United States Vs. Chile United States vs. Chile Davis Cup by BNP Paribas 2011 World Group First Round Estadio Nacional Court Central Santiago, Chile * March 4-6 INDEX PREVIEW NOTES U.S. AND CHILE PLAYER BIOGRAPHIES U.S. DAVIS CUP TEAM RECORDS U.S. DAVIS CUP INDIVIDUAL RECORDS TRANSCRIPTS AND PRESS RELEASES United States vs. Chile Davis Cup by BNP Paribas 2011 World Group First Round Estadio Nacional Court Central Santiago, Chile * March 4-6 For more information, contact: Tim Curry, +1-914-826-6030, [email protected] PREVIEW NOTES The 2011 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group First Round between the United States and Chile will take place from Friday, March 4, to Sunday, March 6, in Santiago, Chile, at the Estadio Nacional Court Central on an outdoor clay court. This will be the second consecutive tie the U.S. has played in South America after playing in Bogota, Colombia, in the 2010 World Group Playoff. This tie will mark the debut of U.S. Davis Cup Captain Jim Courier, who was named the 40th U.S. Davis Cup Captain in October. Courier, a four-time Grand Slam champion and former World No. 1, made his debut in Davis Cup competition in 1991 and was a member of U.S. Davis Cup title-winning teams in 1992 and 1995, clinching the title in 1992 against Switzerland in Fort Worth, Texas (Andy Roddick and his family attended that final). Courier compiled a 17-10 career record in Davis Cup competition and holds the U.S. Davis Cup record for most five-set singles victories (5) and for most victories in fifth-and-decisive matches (3). The U.S. Davis Cup team was 13-1 when Courier competed for the team, losing only in his last appearance – the 1999 quarterfinal against Australia during the Centennial Celebration the competition at the Longwood Cricket Club. Courier succeeded Patrick McEnroe as captain, who ended his 10-year tenure to focus on his role of General Manager of USTA Player Development. Courier coached the U.S. Davis Cup team for five ties from 2001-03 under McEnroe. Andy Roddick returns to the U.S. Davis Cup Team for the first time since the 2009 first round, where he won both of his singles matches against Switzerland in Birmingham, Ala. Roddick 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. In 2007, Roddick led the U.S. to its first Davis Cup title since 1995 when they defeated Russia in the final. In head-to-head play, Roddick holds a 1-3 record against Chilean Nicolas Massu. The only time Roddick has defeated Massu was in Davis Cup play—during the 2006 World Group Quarterfinal in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Bob and Mike Bryan are 16-2 in U.S. Davis Cup play together and are first all-time in U.S. Davis Cup history with team wins. John Isner made his Davis Cup debut last year, competing in two ties and going 2-0 in doubles and 0-2 in singles. 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 Andy Roddick and a doubles victory by Bob and Mike Bryan. The U.S. and Chile faced each other three other times in 1972, 1973, and 1978. Since the competition began in 1900, the United States has faced 39 nations, posting a 209-64 record (most wins by any nation in the event). The United States has a winning record against 36 countries and has a level record with one country. The U.S. is undefeated versus 21 countries and holds an active winning streak against 33 of the 39 nations they have faced. They lead all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles. 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 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.

Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
