U.S. Davis Cup captain Bob Bryan's decision to make a last-second change to his doubles lineup against Australia did not work out.

Australia ’s Matthew Ebden, left, and Jordan Thompson shake hands after defeating Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton of the United States during their doubles tennis quarterfinal Davis Cup match at the Martin Carpena Sports Hall, in Malaga, southern Spain, on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024.

“It didn’t surprise us that much, to be honest,” Australian captain Lleyton Hewitt said. “I’d seen do drills during the week, so, yeah, it wasn’t a surprise.” Other explanations offered by Bryan for the move included that Ebden is more familiar with the games of Krajicek and Ram — Ebden and John Peers beat those two in the Paris Games final in August for the men’s doubles gold — and that Shelton was already in “rhythm out there” because he competed earlier in the day in singles.
