The prestigious tennis tournament Davis Cup is all set to enter its 112th edition. On one hand, defending champions Italy will look to retain the title, while India will aim to move past the runners-up tag. India has finished as runners-up three times (1966, 1974, 1987) but has never lifted the trophy.
India’s first target is to advance to the Davis Cup 2024 qualifiers, which could happen if they beat the seven-time Davis Cup title holders, Sweden, in the crucial World Group I match. India will face Sweden at the iconic Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm on September 14-15, 2024.

Davis Cup: India vs Sweden head to head record
Speaking about India’s record against Sweden, it is clear that it is not favorable. India has never beaten the Swedish team in the Davis Cup. India has played a total of 5 matches against the 7-time champions Sweden but has failed to come out on top. In their last Davis Cup tie in 2005 in New Delhi, despite having players like Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi, and Prakash Amritraj, India could not capitalize and lost the match 3-1. It is important to note that Sweden has defeated India with a 5-0 margin in three of these five Davis Cup ties.
