Thursday U.S. Davis Cup Team Interview Transcript
RYAN HARRISON: Well, I think I have the advantage of being a practice partner a couple years ago, also being a part of that fantastic tie we had in Switzerland. Like Jim said, I played the dead rubber match for me to get out there. We discussed a lot of that stuff in the past. Obviously we talked about it, just like we talked about many other things for this match. I think we’re both on the same page.

American Tennis: USTA, Fans Asking ‘Who’s Next?’ and ‘When?’
