The tournament is organized by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and features national teams competing in men's tennis.

The Davis Cup is named after Dwight F. Davis, an American tennis player and philanthropist who initiated the tournament in 1900. He organized the first international team competition in tennis as a challenge match between the United States and Great Britain. Davis also donated the original trophy, which led to the competition being named in his honor. The event has since evolved into one of the premier international team competitions in men's tennis.

Usually a "rubber match" or "rubber game" of a 3 game series is only played if no one has a chance to sweep the series. If team A wins game 1 and team B wins game 2, it shows game 3 can go either way... Sorta like how rubber can bend either way.

Thus, "Rubber game" of the series.

According to Paul Dickson's The New Dickson's Baseball Dictionary (Harcourt Brace, 1999), a "rubber game" is "The last and deciding game of a series when the previous games have been split; e.g., the seventh game of the World Series." This tie-breaking sense of "rubber" apparently originated in the pulse-pounding English game of "bowls," or lawn bowling. Despite its name, bowls has little in common with American bowling, and consists of rolling wooden balls (called "bowls") across a level green, the object being to get your ball as close as possible to (but not to hit) a little white ball at the other end of the green. "Rubber" in its tie-breaking sense first appeared in the context of bowls around 1599, and was in use by the card-playing crowd (whist, bridge, etc.) by 1744. A set of three games of bridge is still generally referred to as a "rubber."

Unfortunately, no one knows where "rubber" in this sense came from. It appears to be unrelated to the elastic sort of "rubber." (Incidentally, our modern elastic "rubber" is short for "India-rubber," from its original source in the East Indies. "Rubber" previously meant anything used to rub, smooth or clean.) Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable ventures that the term may have referred to two "bowls" rubbing together, a fatal error in the game of bowls. Or it might be a metaphorical use of "rubber" (something that expunges) referring to the "sudden death" third game of a series, the loss of which would conclusively "rub out" the losing team's hopes. But there is, sad to say, no solid evidence for either theory."

I think that 'rubber match' will mean the match that will decide the rubber ie the fifth in a series of five. The term rubber doesn't itself mean decisive.

Right now...Pete Sampras is at the top with 14 Grand Slam titles, next is Roger Federer.

But when I research (on wikipedia), they discussed that Bill Tilden was the greatest player...then there is Donald Budge who is the 1st person to win all four grand slam titles...

that's all I know so I really have no idea who is the 1st person to rank #1 in tennis.

The United States, though can't give the exact number.

The United States has not won the most by a long chalk. They may have won the most since it became professional, but the country that has won it the most times is Great Britain, who won it uninterruptedly from 1877 until 1906, then in 1908 and 1909. They won it again in 1934, 1935 and 1936, making a total of 35 times. The US won it for the first time in 1920.

However, the United Kingdom has also entered every Davis Cup since its inception in 1900.

Technically the ATP season ends some time after the U.S. Open so it is the last Grand Slam Tournament played, but in the next season the Australian Open is the next Grand Slam tournament played after the US Open.
