A history of more than 100 years is enough to make any tournament considered as prestigious and it is the case with the Davis Cup. The prestigious tennis tournament is all set to enter into the 2016 edition. Even though the entire tennis news world following is on the US Open, the Davis Cup is also starting to get noticed with the semi-finals taking place from September 16-18. France, who are seeded fifth, take on the unseeded Croatia while Great Britain, who are the overwhelming favourites, take on Argentina in the Davis Cup 2016.

History

Interestingly, Great Britain will have to overcome their nemesis Argentina in order to stand a chance of winning the 2016 Davis Cup. In the past three meetings that took place in 1981, 1988, and 2009, Argentina has come out on top. One has to go way back to 1928 to witness the last time Great Britain managed to win against Argentina. This time around, one will have to stick with the best odds and back Great Britain since they have a lot of strength coming into the tournament. Betting tips are also backing Great Britain since Andy Murray is in red-hot form after having won the Wimbledon this year.

Best Nations

Argentina are also not to be taken lightly since they have been extremely consistent at the Davis Cup with 11 semi-final finishes in the past 15 years. The return of Del Porto after a gap of four years is a major positive for the team as they look to win their first Davis Cup title.

France were last crowned as the champions in 2001 and they have only managed runners-up position since then. They will want to end their recent struggles in this competition with a win. However, they cannot afford to take Croatia lightly since Borna Coric and Cilic will be their representatives at the singles level followed by Dodig as a doubles specialist. Croatia have reached the final only once and they won it in 2005. The lack of consistent appearances in the latter stages of the tournament might hurt them when it comes to bet online odds, but Croatia could turn out to be dark horse.

Of the four teams taking part in the semi-finals, Great Britain and France are favourites to reach the final. From then on, any team has the potential to succeed but Britain – with Murray in their line-up – are best placed to win the title.

Predictions and Odds

The Davis Cup Outrights show that the odds for Great Britain to win are 5/4. The odds are 7/4 for France to win, 11/2 for Croatia, and 12 for Argentina.

On paper, this looks straightforward and the tennis betting world agrees: Great Britain are 5/4 to claim the title. Andy Murray is set to show some great effort, but Davis Cup is never this straightforward. Tactics will play a huge part and France and Argentina have great teams as well. Argentina will face a trip to Great Britain in the last four, and France will play Croatia in the other semi-final.
