TheSpain men's national tennis team has representedSpain internationally since 1920. Organised by theReal Federación Española de Tenis (RFET), it is one of the 50 members ofInternational Tennis Federation's European association (Tennis Europe).
Spain has won the Davis Cup six times (2000,2004,2008,2009,2011,2019), and finished as runner-up four times (1965,1967,2003,2012), which makes it historically one of the most powerful countries in the tennis world.
Spain has competed in the World Group created in1981, for 32 years. From 1997 to 2014, competed for 18 consecutive years, returning in 2017, after winning the World Group playoffs the previous year.
Spain competed in its first Davis Cup in1921 but didn't reach the final round until 1965, when the team led byJaime Bartrolí lost toAustralia. They reached the final again two years later but though they had great players such asManuel Santana andManuel Orantes, Spain lost againstRoy Emerson and company again.
Spanish fans had to wait 33 years in2000, to see their team play another Davis Cup final, but this time the Spanish team defeated the Australians inBarcelona withJuan Carlos Ferrero as national hero. ButLleyton Hewitt, who had been defeated by Ferrero three years before, had his revenge very soon, when Spain lost to Australia again in 2003.
The following year, Spain reached the final once again. It was played inSeville and for the first time ever, they didn't have to play against Australia. Their opponents were theUnited States, and thanks to great performances fromCarlos Moyá and an 18-year-oldRafael Nadal, Spain won their second Davis Cup.
Spain reached the final once again in2008, and they won againstArgentina. It was the first time that the Spanish team won the final on foreign soil. Unexpectedly, the Spanish heroes wereFernando Verdasco andFeliciano López, winning one single each and the doubles partnering together.David Ferrer, then World Number 5, lost in straight sets toDavid Nalbandian in the only match he played in the final; and Nadal, World Number 1, was injured, and he wasn't able to play inArgentina.
After winning the Davis Cup for the third time,Emilio Sánchez stepped down as captain to allow compatriotAlbert Costa take his place. In 2009, second-seeded Spain cruised to their seventhDavis Cup final after home victories againstSerbia,Germany andIsrael, even though Costa struggled to make a team asRafael Nadal andFernando Verdasco missed two ties each. Spain played theCzech Republic, which previously eliminated first-seededArgentina. The final was held in home ground again, where they hadn't lost a tie since1999. Spain swept the Czechs 5–0 atPalau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, behind great performances fromDavid Ferrer andRafael Nadal to claim their second consecutive title, and the fourth in ten years.
Spain defeatedArgentina in the2011 final, held for the second time inSeville, by a score of 3–1 to claim their fifth title, and the third in four years.[1]
In 2019, Spain won their sixth title (their first since2011), defeatingCanada in the final 2–0.Rafael Nadal was awarded the Davis Cup Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy, after he won 8 of the 8 matches he participated in.[2]
