This will be their sixth overall meeting. Interestingly, the United States are the slight favorites in head-to-head duels, triumphing in three separate occasions so far, while Italy have celebrated a victory twice to this day.

Their most recent game was played on January 7, 2020, and it ended in a 3-0 win for the Italian team in the 2020 ATP Cup. It promises to be an even more exciting clash as they meet for the first time since then, this time in the opening phase of the Davis Cup Finals Round Robin 2021.
