DUESSELDORF, Germany, May 22 AP – The United States has fallen to its second straight defeat at the Team World Cup, while Serbia posted its second victory in two matches.

Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time Optic Yellow) over a net into the opponent’s court.
Tennis enjoys millions of recreational players and is also a hugely popular worldwide spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments (sometimes referred to as the “majors”): the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
The Davis Cup is an annual competition between men’s national teams, dates to 1900. The analogous competition for women’s national teams, the Fed Cup, was founded as the Federation Cup in 1963 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the ITF.
The ATP World Tour Masters 1000 is a group of nine tournaments that form the second-highest echelon in men’s tennis. Each event is held annually, and a win at one of these events is currently worth 1000 ranking points. These eventually became the Tennis Masters Series. In November at the end of the tennis year, the world’s top eight players compete in the ATP World Tour Finals, a tournament with a rotating locale. It is currently held in London, England.
