American Davis Cup captain Mardy Fish has been an instrumental force for American tennis. Since 2019, he has been appointed the captain of the United States of America team. They are the most successful team to compete in the competition.

Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish react strongly 

Two notable players, Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish, found it absurd to see Team Canada included in the mix. Fish mentioned the 4-0 loss Team Canada suffered in the qualifiers. On the other hand, Roddick found it amusing and felt the tournament has become more of an exhibition. 

Speaking on this subject, Fish stated, “Wait, what? Y’all lost 4-0 in the Qualifiers. What’s going on here Davis Cup? Even Roddick added, “This is a really dumb rule ….. they’re determined to make a full-on exhibition.”

Coming to tennis, at the moment players are busy competing at the Indian Wells 2022. Yesterday, there were some intense matches. In the first semifinal, it was Rublev who took on Fritz. It was the American talent who overcame the Russian star in straight sets.

In the other semifinal, it was Nadal who took on Alcaraz. It went the distance and it was the experience of the 21-time Grand Slam winner that helped him see through the finishing line. On Sunday, it will be Nadal who will take on Fritz in what promises to be an epic battle as both players are in fine form. 

Focusing on the Davis Cup, the group stage matches will take place at venues in Italy, Great Britain, Germany, and Spain. Speaking on Team Canada, despite losing in the qualifiers and receiving this wild card, they can surely create an impact as they have some amazing youngsters like Auger-Aliassime and Shapovalov. We wish all players the best of luck.
