I am assuming you mean 'when did it change from single-handed to 2-handed'?

I think it mainly changed in the earlier days of Jimmy Connors and his girlfriend of the time, Chris Evert, who were both virtually top-ranked in the world. Both of them were using two-handed backhands.

Then, not long later, Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl had long-term great success using top-spun backhands - which had been somewhat of a rarity up until that point. With the advent of more European clay courts, the top-spin backhand established its place.

So, in effect, as grass became a less favourable surface in the world, top-spun backhands have become more 'the rage', and much more use of the two-hander as well - even for many forehands.

The Davis Cup is an international tennis event played between male players of those countries entering. Therefore, each country will have its own captain.

In the US, for the past several years (10 I think) it has been Patrick McEnroe, but this year the U.S. changed coaches. Jim Courrier is the new coach for the U.S Davis Cup team.

The new Australian team captain, as of 2010, is now Patrick Rafter, replacing the former captain, John Fitzgerald - now retired.

The current captain of the Indian Davis Cup team is Mahesh Bhupathi.

Probably most male tennis players wear either a jockstrap or some kind of supportive sports undergarment, e.g. compression shorts, jock boxers, athletic briefs, etc.

Throughout the world, depending on the participants.
