Fritz, Tiafoe, Paul, Sock and Ram headed to Glasgow for Davis Cup group stage

Victoria Chiesa | August 15, 2022


Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, Jack Sock and Rajeev Ram will represent the U.S. in the group stage of the 2022 Davis Cup by Rakuten Finals this September in Glasgow, Scotland.

 

Captain Mardy Fish's team will be looking to advance out of round-robin play and into the knockout rounds for the first time in the four-year history of the storied competition's new format as the U.S. seeks to win its record-extending 33rd all-time Davis Cup title. The group stage will take place at Emirates Arena from Sept. 13-18. 

 

Four of the five players named to the Finals roster helped the U.S. get there: Fritz, Paul, Sock and Ram helped the Americans sweep Colombia in the qualifying round in March that booked their spot in the Finals.

Sixteen nations allocated in four groups will compete to advance to the eight-nation knockout stage that will crown this year’s Davis Cup champion. The U.S. will compete in Group D in Glasgow and will play hosts Great Britain, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands in a round-robin competition where the top two finishers advance to the Finals site in Malaga, Spain. The Davis Cup presented by Rakuten Finals will be played in Malaga from Nov. 22-27.

 

Each round-robin tie is played best-of-three with two singles and one doubles match. Over the course of four days in Glasgow, the U.S. will play its three matches: first against host Great Britain, then against Kazakhstan, before concluding against the Netherlands.

The full schedule can be viewed on the Davis Cup website

He owns a 10-4 total record in Davis Cup, including a 6-1 mark in doubles. In March, he and Ram put the finishing touches on the win against Colombia with a straight-sets triumph.
