The Bryan brothers are 20-4 as a team in Davis Cup play.

Reigning Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is expected to play for Great Britain.

The best-of-five match on a temporary clay court in left field will begin Jan. 31 with each team's No. 1 player facing the other's No. 2 player.

A doubles match will be played Feb. 1. The "reverse singles'' will be played Feb. 2, with the No. 1 players squaring off, followed by the No. 2 players meeting each other in the final match.

All matches are best-of-five sets until one nation clinches the match. A revised schedule for Sunday may take place if a team clinches in the third or fourth match.
