Davis Cup Tennis Betting

The Davis Cup is the only real opportunity for the top tennis players to play in a National team competition thus getting away from routine tournament play. It is a hugely popular competition with the players as it allows team play, much in the same way as the Ryder Cup achieves in Golf.

The Davis Cup is a men's international team event which was first staged in 1899 when Harvard University organised a tournament against the British. In 1945 the tournament was officially called the Davis Cup following the death of Dwight Davis who was one of the original Harvard players that founded the tournament up.

The Federation Cup is the equivalent tournament for ladies

A Davis Cup Match comprises of five rubbers, four singles and one doubles and each are played over five sets. Two players are selected to play the singles rubbers and each must play the opposing two singles players on either side of the doubles. There is a maximum of four players per team, but it is not unusual to select a player to play both singles and doubles. The winning team is the team who reaches three rubbers first. The reigning champions are Spain who defeated the Czech Republic in the final.

As no single country seem to dominate the Davis Cup the tournament is usually a very open Tennis Betting affair with a very lively Ante Post Betting market.
