This weekend starts the 2012 Davis Cup season. The US will be looking to win its 33 Davis Cup title and 1st since 2007. It has a mighty task at hand facing Switzerland with Roger the Great and Stan "The Man" Wrawrinka. Both players are going to be a handful for the Americans who will throw Mardy Fish and Big John Isner at them. Bob Bryan will be missing from the line up as he will be home in California welcoming a new addition to his family. Captain Jim Courier has not set his doubles team yet but is leaning towards Fish and Mike Bryan. He also has a possible ACE in the hole with young Ryan Harrison. The young Yankee came of the Aussie Open with some confidence taking a set away from the #4 ranked player in the world and semifinalist Andy Murray.
A wildcard in this tie is the surface they will play on; clay! It almost seems as any tie for the Americans when they are not on US soil is automatically on clay. Maybe it's a sign for us! Roger and Stan are both solid on clay along with Mardy. It will be interesting to see how Big John plays on it. He did take The King of Clay, Rafa Nadal, to 5 sets last Spring at Roland Garros. Never the less it will be a tough task for the Americans but equally for the Swiss! Go USA!
