Mardy Fish is out as captain of the U.S. Davis Cup team. The U.S. Tennis Association says the two sides “mutually agreed to move in a new direction.” The USTA announced the change as part of a news release that began by listing the members of the American roster for a qualifying matchup at Uzbekistan in February. Those players are doubles specialist Rajeev Ram, Tommy Paul, Jenson Brooksby, Mackenzie McDonald and Austin Krajicek. Ram was notably left off the squad by Fish for the Davis Cup Finals in November. Fish had been the U.S. captain since 2019. He was fined $10,000 in November by the International Tennis Integrity Agency for promoting a gambling operator via social media.
