[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).
