Two proud Davis Cup Finals nations meet in Glasgow for what should be a thrilling tie on Wednesday. The United States have won more Davis Cup titles than any other nation with 32 but they have failed to reach a final since 2007, where they won their most recent edition led by former world number one Andy Roddick. Captain Bob Bryan played alongside his twin brother that day and he proudly leads out a strong foursome of world number 12 Taylor Fritz, in-form world number 29 Tommy Paul and former world number eight Jack Sock who should link up well with US Open Men’s Doubles champion Rajeev Ram as an electrifying doubles team.
Whilst 24-year-old Fritz has been struggling with his fitness in recent tournaments, the American is enjoying the best year of his career and he is one of the highest-ranked first options in the group stages. Tommy Paul is the significant trump card here, though, after recently beating the likes of US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz and taking the eventual runner-up Casper Ruud to five sets in New York.
Great Britain famously won the 2015 Davis Cup Finals via a valiant performance from brothers Andy and Jamie Murray in a doubles decider against David Goffin’s Belgium. They are joint-third on titles overall alongside France, with a remarkable 79-year gap between their ninth and 10th trophies after last winning the tournament in 1935. Captain Leon Smith has a top 10 player in world number eight Cam Norrie, up to a career-high ATP ranking after reaching the round of 16 at the US Open and semi-finals of the Cincinnati Masters, and in-form Dan Evans who recently reached the semi-finals of the Canada Masters. Norrie has transformed his tricky game into a world-beating tactic capable of upsetting even the top players these days, having recently beaten the likes of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Carlos Alcaraz, whilst 32-year-old Evans always finds his best form for the international stage – almost single-handedly dragging GB into the quarter-finals of the inaugural ATP Cup in 2020.
Former world number one Andy Murray is a huge font of experience to call upon if need be in Glasgow, where he will be welcomed as a hero on home soil, and the 35-year-old could well be brought into Men’s Doubles deciders alongside one of world number one Joe Salisbury or number three Neal Skupski, US Open champion and runner-up respectively, who have often struggled to match their playstyles together on court.
Much of this tie will rest on the first option battle between Cam Norrie and Taylor Fritz. If the American can find his best form he should be able to squeak past Cam Norrie, leading their storied head-to-head record 5-4 after doing so whilst representing the US back in January at the ATP Cup. However, Norrie will enjoy home advantage in Glasgow, as will his father David who is from the city, and with Fritz lacking his full ability the Brit should be able to take it to 5-5. Dan Evans beat Tommy Paul on his way to the Canada Masters semi-finals last month but a rematch should come close and both sides boast some incredible depth in the doubles, with Joe Salisbury likely to face his tour partner in Rajeev Ram. Home advantage should play its part this week, and the looming figure of Andy Murray could well be the difference on court or off it in Glasgow. Back Great Britain to win the tie.
