History

Russia competed in its first Davis Cup in 1962, as the Soviet Union, until 1991, and in 1992 under the name of CIS. Russia played a total of 117 series, of which they won 77 and lost 40. It won the Cup twice – in 2002 and 2006. In 1994, 1995 and 2007 the team played in the final – against Sweden and USA, the latter two.[ citation needed ]

Russia was the top-ranked country in the Davis Cup standings in 2009, but were upset by Israel in their quarterfinal tie in July 2009, on indoor hard courts at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv. [3]

Since their loss against Sweden in the first round of the 2011 Davis Cup, team Russia did not return to the World Group, and after the heavy loss at the 2012 WG Play-offs against Brazil, 0–5, it played in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I. Russia managed to advance to the WG play-offs in 2015, but lost to Italy, 1–4.[ citation needed ]

With the win over Sweden in the 2016 Europe Zone Group I, Shamil Tarpishchev made a record of 55 Davis Cup wins as team captain. [4]
