About
The Davis Cup is an international team tournament in men’s tennis which is organised by the International Tennis Federation. It is contested between countries in a knockout format.
The first edition of the Davis Cup took place in 1900 and the competition has been held in most years since then. The United States have won the tournament more than any other country, being triumphant on 32 occasions. Australia have won it 24 times while France and Great Britain have been the champions ten times each.
In recent times, Spain have been quite successful in the competition, winning it six times in the 21st century.
The 2022 Davis Cup will be the 110th edition of the tournament and will be contested by 28 nations. Russia are the reigning champions, having won last year after beating Croatia in the final. Both countries are already through to this year’s Finals and have been joined by Serbia and Great Britain who received wildcards.
