Guest team wins Davis Cup after having 2-1 advantage following doubles match : 1903, 1907, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1933, 1937, 1958, 1959, 1963, 1972, 1985, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2008, 2013, 2014
Home team turnes the tie around and wins : 1902, 1953, 2010
Guest team winning after 4th match, following 2-1 lead : 1903, 1913, 1914, 1937, 1958, 1972, 1995, 1999, 2008, 2014
Britanija se donekle moze osloniti na istoriju, posto je gost vodio 2-1 u Dejvis Kup finalu 23 puta, i u 20 navrata izasao kao pobednik. Medjutim, samo 10 puta su to cinili posle cetvrtog meca pa ce Endi silno zeleti da se u tome pridruzi Samprasu, Filipusisu, Verdasku i Federeru, posto niko ziv ne zna sta bi se desilo u eventualnom petom zivom mecu. Kazu da je Edmund potpuno slomljen mentalno i da nema teorije da bi on igrao ako do tog meca dodje, tako da bi sve palo na Dzejmsa Vorda. Sa druge strane, isto se prica da Darsis sigurno nece igrati singl, tako da ukoliko Gofan dobije najverovatnije gledamo Bemelmansa i Vorda, ali sumnjam da ce Skot to da dozvoli, ovo mu je jedan od meceva zivota
