Mardy Fish was named the captain of the United States Davis Cup squad on Wednesday, putting him in charge as the men’s team competition enters a new era.
Fish, who won six ATP singles titles and a silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, replaces Jim Courier, who held the post for eight years before stepping down in September.
“It is something that is a dream job for me, something I won’t take for granted,” Fish, 37, said during a conference call.
