The U.S. Davis Cup team booked its place in the 2024 Davis Cup Finals Final 8 with a perfect 3-0 campaign in the Group Stage, beating Chile, Slovakia and Germany in Zhuhai, China, in September.

 

Fresh off a run to the second week of the 2024 US Open, 23-year-old Davis Cup rookie Brandon Nakashima led the U.S. effort with three singles wins, as he was flanked by Reilly Opelka (in his first Davis Cup action since 2021), Mackenzie McDonald and the doubles team of Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek.

 

The Final 8 stage of the competition is a knockout-style quarterfinal bracket to be played in November in Malaga, Spain, that will crown the 2024 Davis Cup champion.

The U.S. last won the Davis Cup in 2007 when the team of Andy Roddick, James Blake, Mike Bryan and Bob Bryan, with captain Patrick McEnroe, beat Russia in a 4-1 final.
