Andy on why he loves to play Davis Cup: “I went to my first Davis Cup tie in Ft. Worth, Texas, when I was about nine years old and saw them win and saw them run around with the flag afterwards and playing Proud to Be an American and all that stuff, it’s just been with me ever since. I think it’s a great honor and I’m actually humbled by the fact that I get to do something like this.”

Andy’s Davis Cup memory: “My first Davis Cup experience was I was at the final in Fort Worth in ‘92. It’s what some people consider the best single Davis Cup team ever with Courier, Agassi, Sampras was on the team but he wasn’t good enough to play singles. That’s how good this team was (laughter). Some brother of yours was there, too. Beat Switzerland. It was crazy, similar to Bob and Mike, the whole deal. One of the cool things I remember is the Swiss people brought their big cow bells. I don’t know if you guys know a cow bell, but it was literally like this, these huge things. I remember one of the coolest things, before the doubles match on Saturday, my oldest brother and I went around Houston trying to find something that would make more noise than these cow bells. We ended up finding these bike air horns. He was on one side of the stadium doing it, I was on the other side of the stadium doing it. I asked Jim Courier a couple years ago if he actually remembers it. Goes, ‘That was you? God, those things were annoying.’”
