Rubber: Sense of "deciding match" in a game or contest is 1590s, of unknown signification, and perhaps an entirely separate word. The sporting term rubber match refers to the final and deciding game in any series and traces its origins back to the 16th century English game of lawn bowling.
The 18 teams will compete in six round-robin groups of three teams. The six group winners plus the two second-placed teams with the best records based on percentage of sets won (followed by games won), will qualify for the quarter-finals.
Concept. The first Davis Cup took place in 1900 and saw USA take on Great Britain, then playing under the name of the British Isles. It was held at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston and the Americans surprised their opponents by racing into an unassailable 3-0 lead.
Definition: The Davis Cup, the tennis equivalent of the football World Cup, was named after American collegian Dwight Filley Davis, who came up with the idea to start a challenge tennis match between the USA and Great Britain. First played in 1900, it was originally called the International Lawn Tennis Trophy.
