No American man has won a Grand Slam singles title since Andy Roddick triumphed at the 2003 U.S. Open. No American man reached the fourth round of a major tournament in 2013. No American man finished 2014 in the top 15.
Switzerland defeated France 3-1 to win the 2014 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Final in Lille on Sunday. It is Switzerland’s first Davis Cup title, and it becomes only the 14th champion nation in the 115-year-old competition. Roger Federer became the most successful Swiss player in Davis Cup history...
Switzerland is one match victory away from its first Davis Cup title after winning Saturday's doubles rubber against France in Lille. The visitors were led by the 2008 Olympic gold medal-winning duo of Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka, who blew past Julien Benneteau and Richard Gasquet 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in just two hours and 12 minutes.

Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were hardly more than innocent bystanders during the first day of Davis Cup final action in Lille, France. At least Federer had an excuse, coming off a long week at the World Tour Finals that ended when he had to pull out of the title match against Novak Djokovic due to a back injury. Tsonga, on the other hand, simply got outplayed by Stan Wawrinka.

Following the disappointment of 17,500 paying fans when the climax of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals was curtailed on Sunday by Roger Federer’s injured back, tournament organizers have announced there will be a 60% ticket refund.
Five days after withdrawing from the World Tour Finals championship match against Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer is expected to be back in action when the Davis Cup final between Switzerland and France begins on Friday.
And so they meet again.
Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will collide for the fourth time in their careers at the World Tour Finals in an appropriate end to the 2014 ATP season with the world No. 1 and world No. 2 facing each other in the title match of the year-end championship. It will reach a climax on Sunday evening at London's O2 Arena.
Are you not entertained?
The first semifinal of the 2014 World Tour Finals will not exactly go down as an instant classic nor was more than one set competitive, but it at least went the distance--a rare occurrence this week in London.
The relative disaster that was round-robin play at the World Tour Finals has given way to a pair of intriguing semifinal matches; ones that could end a disturbing trend of blowouts and inject life into London's O2 Arena. Saturday's proceedings will begin with Novak Djokovic going up against Kei Nishikori before the nightcap features an all-Swiss showdown between Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka.
Roger Federer has produced one masterclass after another at the World Tour Finals. Even with his opponents arguably becoming increasingly more difficult by the match, nothing has changed. Following successive straight-set wins over Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori, the 33-year-old demolished Andy Murray 6-0, 6-1 in just 56 minutes on Thursday night.
If the London faithful got to choose, both Roger Federer and Andy Murray would be a part of Saturday's semifinals. And that still is a possibility even though the two fan favorites have to face each other on Thursday night at the World Tour Finals. Federer will already be through even before he takes the court if Kei Nishikori fails to beat Milos Raonic in straight sets.
Even though Roger Federer is not yet assured of a place in the semifinals, fans went home happy from the O2 Arena on Tuesday at the World Tour Finals. They had the pleasure of witnessing stellar, straight-set performances from both Federer and Andy Murray. Federer remains in ideal shape to reach the last four in London while Murray stays alive.
