WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., March 27, 2008 -- The USTA and U.S. Davis Cup Captain Patrick McEnroe today announced that the defending Davis Cup champions will feature world No. 6 Andy Roddick, No. 9 James Blake and the No. 1 doubles team in the world Bob and Mike Bryan in the 2008 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Quarterfinal. The U.S. will face France on an indoor premiere hard court in Winston-Salem’s Joel Coliseum, April 11-13.

This is the tenth straight time that U.S. Davis Cup Captain McEnroe has used this lineup -- a record for the U.S. Davis Cup team -- dating back to the 2005 World Group Play-off in Belgium. The previous U.S. record was three consecutive ties, held by eight different teams. In addition, Mardy Fish -- the third-ranked American -- will come to Winston-Salem as a reserve and practice with the team.

The weekend festivities will begin Friday before the matches with a special ceremony to recognize the 2007 Davis Cup champions. During the ceremony, a banner will be raised and the team will be presented custom-designed 14-karat gold rings commissioned by the USTA with five diamonds on the top, representing McEnroe and each of the four players.

“We’re looking forward to adding another chapter to our rich Davis Cup history with France,” said U.S. Davis Cup Captain Patrick McEnroe, who has led the U.S. to a 14-6 record since taking over as Captain in 2001. “We received tremendous support from the crowd last year in Winston-Salem and we hope to experience that same excitement again this year.”
