Birmingham, AL, February 13, 2009 - Roger Federer and the Swiss Team are heading to Birmingham to take on Andy Roddick and Team U.S.A. in the Davis Cup March 6-8, 2009. When watching the best tennis players in the world, stay in one of the “Top 500 Hotels in the World”, according to Travel + Leisure magazine. Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa in Birmingham has a variety of golf, romance and family packages available during the Davis Cup.
The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Arena in Birmingham, Ala., 15 minutes from the resort, has been selected as the site for the 2009 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas first round match between the United States and Switzerland, March 6-8, 2009. The United States and Switzerland are two of the 16 nations competing for the 2009 Davis Cup title as part of the Davis Cup World Group. The U.S. leads all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles.
The United States has used the same line-up – world No. 8 Andy Roddick, No. 10 James Blake, and the world’s second-ranked doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan – for 10 of the last 11 Davis Cup matches, including all four wins during its 2007 title run. World No. 2 and five-time reigning US Open champion Roger Federer has announced his intention to play in the first round of Davis Cup for the first time since 2004 and is expected to be joined by No. 13 Stanislas Wawrinka, with whom he won the Olympic gold medal in men’s doubles this past summer in Beijing.
The best-of-five match series begins Friday, with two singles matches, featuring each country’s No. 1 player against the other country’s No. 2 player. Saturday’s schedule features the pivotal doubles match. The final day of play on Sunday will feature two “reverse singles” matches, when the No. 1 players square off followed by the No. 2 players meeting each other in the final match.
Founded in 1900, Davis Cup is the world’s largest annual international team competition. The USTA organizes, stages and promotes all Davis Cup events in the U.S.
