Get ready to make one hell of a racket, because the Davis Cup is coming to Manchester this September.<\/p>\n

Known as the World Cup of tennis, the Davis Cup sees the top male tennis players from around the globe compete in teams to win glory (and a healthy prize pot) for their country.<\/p>\n

16 teams have made it to the group stages of this year\u2019s cup, with four of those teams bouncing into Manchester\u2019s AO Arena this Autumn. They are: Great Britain, France, Switzerland, and last year\u2019s runners-up Australia, who lost in the final to Canada.<\/p>\n

The Davis Cup was founded in 1900 by American tennis player and politician Dwight Davis. It started out as a competition solely between the UK and the US but later expanded to include France, Austria, Belgium, and Australasia (which saw New Zealand and Australia playing together).<\/p>\n

By the 1920\u2019s over 20 nations took part in the cup, and now it\u2019s become the largest annual international team competition in world sport, with over 150 countries entering.<\/p>\n

To tell you more about this wild card of a tournament, we\u2019ve put together this handy little guide, which can tell you the rules, dates and, most importantly, how to get yourself a spot in the stands. So, without further ado, here\u2019s what you need to know about the Davis Cup 2023.<\/p>\n

The Davis Cup is also known as the World Cup of tennis. Unlike Grand Slam tennis, it sees international players competing in teams for their respective countries in the hopes of winning part of the $15million prize pot.<\/p>\n

This year, 155 countries entered the cup, but only 16 progress onto the Group Stage. The Qualifiers took place in February with Great Britain among those who made it through. Now, the 16 teams will be placed into groups of four and play a round-robin tournament which will end with the top two teams going into the Knock-out Stage.<\/p>\n

In the Group and Knock-out Stages the teams play a tie, which consists of one doubles and two singles matches, all best of three tiebreak sets.<\/p>\n

How many times has the UK won the Davis Cup?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Great Britain is the only country to have played every version of the Davis Cup since it began in 1900.<\/p>\n

They have also won the trophy 10 times, most recently in 2015 when Andy Murray beat Belgium\u2019s David Goffin by three sets to one.<\/p>\n

When and where is the Davis Cup 2023?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Davis Cup is split into two parts: the Group Stage and the Knock-out Stage. The Group Stage will run from the 12th<\/sup> \u2013 17th<\/sup> of September and the Knock-out Stage will be from 21st<\/sup> \u2013 26th<\/sup> November.<\/p>\n

In the Group Stage the competition is split across four cities, one for each group to compete in. This year, these four cities are: Bologna, Manchester, Valencia, and a yet-to-be-chosen city in Croatia. Then, the Knock-out stage will be in Malaga, Spain.<\/p>\n

Manchester\u2019s AO Arena will host the matches for Group B, so Australia, Switzerland, France, and Great Britain. Here are the dates of the matches and who you can see play:<\/p>\n
